Leslie 0 Posted February 27, 2007 My first guess would be coral, followed by hydrocoral, plate bryozoan, and plate sponge. Will knows much more about these types of animals..... Will? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sanichols 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Looks like a sponge to me. Can you post a closer crop of it? Yep - looks like a sponge. Maybe of the genus Dysidea? Also, the spikey thing around it is also a sponge of the genus Callyspongia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Maybe if you'd post the location and depth of the organism we could help you. Please be more specific in the future. Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers James Well - in the case of sponges, depth is not going to be informative. A photo is about the best you can do without a sample. And this is definitely a sponge - I looked closely at the cropped photo that shows close detail and there are clearly oscules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
