The colors on this sponge are absolutely stunning. There is blue,pink,yellow,orange and a crispy structure of white. They have thin but stiff walled tubes. The outer walls have conical projections, sometimes in clusters. They are common in th Caribbean and tend to be in shallow and mid-range coral reefs. This one was at 50 feet.

My passion is underwater and nature photography. I particularly like finding patterns and designs in nature and getting down to the very basics with super macro views. In my early years, I had extremely poor vision and, as a consequence, I would get very close to things in order to see them. I think this handicap influenced my technique as I tend to try and create brightly colored, closely cropped, in-your-face images that are easy to see. Revealing the beauty in the mundane is my goal. I live in the countryside of western Oregon and have no trouble finding frogs, birds, mushrooms and flowers to photograph.I travel to warm waters for underwater shots as often as possible. Enjoy the photos.
