$Green Finger Sponge Sep 10, Buddy's Reef, Bonaire. Not a very well focused pic but enough to introduce the species :-)\ A distinctive rope sponge because it is usually colonised by abundant golden zooanthids. From a distance this gives it a two-tone colouration. Colonies are tangles of ropes, usually less than 0.5 m high. Caribbean Netherlands,Geotagged,Iotrochota birotulata,Summer$
