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

Flying squirrel is also good idea.

I believe "raviolo" is the singular for ravioli?

I first thought of a pillow, but what's even MORE like a pillow?

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.
