It looks like the Tethya has grown over the cream coloured sponge

@Jennyncmg the cream coloured sponge the Tethya is on, is that part of the tethya or a different sponge? The cream coloured one seemed to be growing around/under the Tethya and wasn't present in all the spots I found Tethya.

@Jennyncmg I agree, but it's not an option on the list yet. I have a bunch of Halicona sightings listed under Porifera waiting!

I think the sponge is a Haliclona sp.
