Anyone know what fish make a bright orange/red bubble nest? Its about 3x2in and shaped like a leaf. Its been in my tank for 2 days and nothing is actively protecting it...

I'm suspecting either some of the gourami or betas, but there are a hundred other fish including barbs, tetras, loaches, cory's and silver dollars that it could have came from too.

I'll try to remember to take a picture tonight.

Its definitely colored that way... but I'm not 100% that it is a bubble nest. it seems too solid to be a bubble nest... or else the bubbles are extremely fine. The next most likely explanation is a dead fish.. but it has kept this color for the couple days its been there.. and no visual marks to make it a fish...no fins, head, eyes..ect and no fish had that color originally. Also, it seems attached to a leaf at the surface like I would expect a nest to be... I can't reach it with out a extension pole. Trying to move it will probably destroy it.. so that's why I wanted to be sure before trying to move it.

I'll get some pictures tonight.
