Fleshy white gunk ID?

As I was feeding my tank this morning, I noticed this weird milky substance clinging to one of my rocks. It looks almost fleshy, like the one time one of my shrimp got killed/died/scavenged. It siphoned off the rock in a single mass and didn't put up any resistance so I don't think it's an algae. Once I put it in the cup its in now, I noticed it has little orangy brown patches and a weird little green speck that looks a tad like the shell of a seed that just sprouted.

I wasn't sure where to put this cuz I've literally never seen anything like it.

Has anyone else seen this before? Should I be worried? It's nowhere else in the tank.


((In case it matters, I feed live baby brine shrimp and flake food every couple days, and frozen mysis usually once a week)).

Any wrasses in the tank?

Nope. I have 2 Clowns, a Pipefish, 3 Peppermint Shrimp, 1 Cleaner Shrimp, and a handful of snails and hermits. And then a bunch of corals.

Do you feed any of your corals/anemones Mysis shrimp? This is just a guess, but it almost looks like one of them may have thrown up.

That's actually what I'm thinking, now that I'm looking at the pictures. I guess it wasn't just my family that had a stomach bug this weekend

Jokes aside though, yea, I feed them mysis occasionally. I haven't fed them recently but it does kinda look like mysis shrimp. I'm thinking it isn't anything to worry about, at any rate. thanks guys!

*looking at the pictures again, I should say. Obviously I looked at them before XD
