Beautiful Marine Sponges

Caribbean Underwater Photography Gallery II

 


 

 * A note to Underwater Naturalists and Students of Marine Ecology:  You may be interested in our most recent gallery "Marine Sponges II."  The theme of the present gallery is, of course, the beauty of the marine sponge in its natural environment.  The new gallery is concerned with  the beauty of the sponge, but also extends to unusual habitats, and/or interesting associated marine creatures.   In the present context, the marine creatures shown with the sponges use the sponge to their advantage, but offer neither aid nor harm.  This association is called commensalism, and sometimes leads to visually exciting results.  To access the gallery "Marine Sponges II," click on the image below.
