*  In this image, the Iridescent Glassy Sponge (Callyspongia plicifera) is nicely framed by the Deep Water Gorgonian (Icilogorgia Schrammi).  In the lower right is a grayish sponge, probably (Ircinia strobilina).  This habitat lies on the margin of a drop off, and receives considerable water flow perpendicular to the plane of the Gorgonians.
