Looks like break material to me. I bet it settles out.

ETA: I had something similar in an Oktoberfest a while back:

Thanks for the feed back , I've never seen this happen before so it was a surprize to wake up to.
And skraeling do you know how hard to it to clean dead hooker out of a carboy. Their hooker boots are the worst its like using a plastic bag to get a bung out of the carboy.

Did you use whirlfloc or something? I have had something similar to this at least a few times when using a whirlfloc tablet.

Well, that Whirlifloc is doing its job and making those proteins coagulate like a mofo. That'll lead to clearer beer in the end.

That is it then. As fermentation runs its course, it will all settle out. Nothing to worry about.
