Question gray matter or ......?

I have seen on many occasions this gray matter in different spots of my tank.
I've actually saw it coming out of a rock with some zoas on it being pushed out like waste
What is this stuff? And more importantly what is making it?

Pictures would help, it might just be waste, though.

depending on your definition of gray, it could something like a limpet spawning, I have watched very small (penny sized) plumes of what was noticably eggs, and plumes of a white/grayish substance that I eventually realized was coming from 5 very well camoflauged limpets.

But without a really good pic, it really could be about anything
