Description

This was framegrabbed (by me) off of S-video shot by a geobiologist scuba-diving in the Florida Keys, circa 1996-1997. The colony of six sponges in the foreground is of Callyspongia vaginalis.

This is incredible. Thanks for letting me use it as a photo reference (just asked you in IM) -- it's inspiring. I have to draw something from this. I'm not sure what yet, whether it'll just be sponges and fish or a mermaid or something prehistoric, but this is gorgeous... thanks for species name on the big ones too!
