Beautiful Marine Sponges

Caribbean Underwater Photography Gallery II


 

*  Off a deep wall, we found this Iridescent Glassy Sponge (Callyspongia plicifera). At the base of the sponge was a spray of vivid  Orange Thread  Gorgonians (Ellisella sp.).  The intense color of the sponge contrasts nicely with the brilliant orange-red of the Gorgonian.  In the upper left corner, barely visible, is the Red Rope Sponge (Haliclona rubra).  Overhanging the scene are  what appears to be Sea Feathers (Pseudopterogorgia sp.).
