Clear jelly glob?

[Knotyet]

Every morning my lights turn on in tank I've been seeing a glob of clear jelly floating around. Does anyone know what it could be? It disappears after I get home from work but I just dont understand what it is. ‍

Wrasse wrap themselves in a mucus cocoon at night, might be what youre seeing

Does it have something to do with them?

I have never heard of that but that makes perfect since. Thx man!

Very cool fishes. At night they make a slime coat with their mouth that completely covers them so predators can not smell them. In the morning they come out of the slime coat and you can see it floating around or on the sandbed

Learned something new. Always thought it was just to mask their sent during the night so they don’t get eaten
