I don't think I want to remove a layer. I just want the animated mask off my image, so I can see it clearly.

I've searched for an answer, but keep being pointed toward removing layers from my images.

Select-None

You can also turn layers OFF by clicking on the eyeball.

There is a right click menu function of the layers panel/dock,
that will allow you to disable the layer mask.
Right click the layer mask and select Disable layer Mask.

Note: The layer mask can be enabled again later by unchecking it.

Is the "animated mask" the crawling-ants that mark the selection ? and you do not want to see them but want to keep the selection active ?

In the View menu -> Show Selection toggles on and off (default is on)

Of course if you are finished with the selection then as Erisian stated Select _-> None
