This is obviously the Cotton Bale Nebula. If you've ever seen a Cotton Bale bursting at the ends, you'll know what I mean.

Looks like a developing cumulonimbus so I'll suggest Nebulo-nimbus for this.

The Starfish Nebeula
(it looks like the common geometric shape of a five pointed star. might as well be a fish to avoid boringness and confusion)
The Shark Nebula
(i'm seeing marine life! it a shark with long fins swimming to the left. his tail fin was destroyed in a fight. it's just a point now)
The Chimp-face Nebula
There's the face of a chimpanzee in there. The face is looking to the right slightly (not in full profile.) It's about where the top and right points of the star shape meet.
The Mufasa Nebula
why not?
Sorry if any of these are already in use. I'm not well versed in nebulae names

Both shape and texture remind me of a Fleece rug. Therefore: Fleece Nebula
