After reading the dive summaries and getting quick glances at the video feed, I feel like I missed out on a ton of great sponges. I was wondering, have you collected any of the cream colored opaque mushroom shaped sponges? They look like dominate sponges. I did see the collection of the tiny red demosponge. My guess is that the creamy ones are Corallistidae or maybe Heteroscleromorpha. But I don’t have any resources to point to stronger ID. The sponge experts haven’t been able to participate.

You would definitely have your work cut out for you trying to ID many of these sponges. There are many! The creamy-colored-Corallistid that we've been seeing was previously collected on a 2014 cruise in the area by the Nautilus. There should be specimens deposited in the MCZ.
