 *   Near the mouth of a deep-water cave, we found the rose tinted white Elephant Ear Sponge (Agelus  flabelliformis) appearing above, on the right of the image. On the left was a Deep Water Gorgonian (Icilogorgia schrammi) with polyps fully extended.  Visible on the surface of the sponge were feather-like hydroids (Sertularella speciosa), and near the base of the Gorgonian, in the background, the compacted arms of a light grey Basket Starfish  (Astrophyton muricatum).
