Congrats marta!
Congratulations Marta!
Congrats Marta! Most appropriate for World Oceans Day!
Wow! Thank you! The sponge certainly deserves it as it is an iconic sight in most tropical coral reefs I have been in. It also hosts many small critters such as tiny crabs and shrimps. :-)
Enhorabuena Marta!
Congrats Marta! Your lovely barrel sponge has been featured as our Spot of the Day for World Oceans Day!

Amazing structure! Great spotting Marta.
Thanks Chun :-)
@cis: I have never been there but I guess yes because they are quite common in tropical reefs in the Pacific.
Can you find this on the great barrier reef
Amazing spotting, Marta !
