What is this? The object was soft. The tank has no plants, so it's not the root or base of a plant. It kind of looks like a mouse with no fur. The second video is better.

The tanks has 5 rainbow cichlids, 1 parrotfish one yellow belly barb (which I just moved), 1 rhino pleco and 1 sailfin pleco. None of them are missing. Maybe plecos just eat the mouse fur and not the whole thing.

in the 2nd vid that thing looks like a horribly made, tiny animal. then that big "thud" sound at the end?,
you dropped it off to the side and that sounds like a rock in a can.

I had a big canopy on the tank you see in the end. It was so big and heavy it just sucked. I got rid of it and put egg create light covers on my tank. That was my tinfoil jumping and hitting hit. The rattle was it bouncing on the tank.

Edit: right when I hit the reply button a koi jumped out of my tank.
 
The things on the side are pretty sharp.

I am thinking maybe a pit from a fruit or piece of plant got in their and started to grow. It looks like a ginger root with spikes.
 
ginger root sounds & looks about right.

Have to ask: why'd you post this as "URGENT" ?
I expected to see dying fish, busted tank spilling, or a whole filter system down, etc.
;-) another reason people assume trolling.
