Egg sack?

[Blackfoot58]

I saw this in a very shallow portion of the creek yesterday. It is submerged completely. Its gelatinous appearance is reminiscent of many fish egg sacks that I’ve seen. However all of them have always looked like phlegmy green balls. This looks like a pink sea anemone; more flowery in appearance. Nature keeps entertaining me. Have a great day!

I don’t know. I never saw one like this before. I’m hoping someone else will recognize it.

I can't recall ever seeing those during the times I lived in Iowa as a kid, who was out often investigating the creeks.

This may not be an egg sack. I saw hundreds of the ones that looked like a green transparent slime bag full of tapioca. Usually attached to semi-submerged dead trees and limbs.
This is similar in size and “gelatinicity”.

Hmm...I do not know either. I also grew up in Iowa, up by Waterloo. I lived in the woods. Rabbit feared me and my pair of beagles😉
The positive spin with no practical information to help with your mystery.....You have the prettiest slime I have ever seen.

Blackhawk County Iowa. They also have some great artifact-hunting areas.
