Happy #SpongeThursday! From approx. 4,200 m deep in the CCZ, Pacific Ocean, here’s an amazing carnivorous sponge (left), as well as one of the most common sponge species we encounter, Plenaster craigi (right). @helena_wiklund @LupitaBribiesc1 @MurielRabone

The Clarion-Clipperton Zone has been surprising us with stunning #sponges, so every day feels like #SpongeThursday here. This beauty was recovered from ~4,200 m deep.

A tad late for #FossilFriday & #SpongeThursday, but here comes a bunch of little cuties from the middle Cambrian Marjum Fm. in Utah. These tiny spicules projecting from the top 😍 Probably the genus Diagonella, but not an expert, so feel free to contradict me (Collect. R. Gaines)

Not all sponges are gentle filterers. In fact, some have their aquiferous system completely reduced and capture prey, instead. Recently discovered species like Lycopodina coralseaensis, by @qldmuseum researchers, add to our knowledge on this mysterious group. #spongethursday
