| Reef Sanctuary's Mr. Wizard   | Re: Porcipine Sponge?? That is a "ball sponge " , Tetya sp. . These sponges can actually walk on those "spines". It is also how they bud off off-spring  Matter of fact I see 2 of them at the 1:00-O'clock - 2:00-O'clock position. Yours looks close to Tethya wilhelmaTethya wilhelma - Google Image Search tethya - Google Image Search
