any ideas?

Looks like a sponge, but I'd have to see see a clearer picture to be sure. If it's a sponge you can probably see the small hole openings (oscula).

its about the size of a silver dollar and wasnt there a couple days ago
there is an electrical outlet directly behind the tank for size refference
looks like a film of some sort

wont rub off easy
or siphon off
other inhabitants happy
frogspawn is even making new branches

Pretty sure it is a sponge - they filter feed, help clean the water.
