It looks like a block of "SALT LICK" which is actually a mineral lick for animals.

Looks like a person in a flying wing suit.
Flying squirrel is also good idea.

It reminds me of a manta ray, or perhaps two of them increasing the population thereof, so I suggest calling it the Manta Nebula.

It reminds me of a manta ray (an oceanic animal),
or perhaps two of them increasing their population.
Therefore I suggest calling it the Manta Nebula.
