pieces of 1-2inch see through "silk" floating in water?

i dont think its vermetids, there is no spider webs

the only way I can explain it is its like a small piece of see through silky smooth bed sheet flowing through the water like it was picked up by some wind.

Do you have a foxface? I have seen the same stuff your talking about come from that fish. Don't know if it was some kind of body waste or a mucus that would come from his skin.

+1 to this idea. Several types of fish will secret a mucous coat at night when they sleep to mask them from predators.
