English:
An orange Elephant Ear
sponge
(Agelas clathrodes) at the
Florida Keys
National Maritime Sanctuary. In the background is a deep water
sea fan
(Iciligorgia schrammi), and the giant
slit-pore sea rod
(Plexaurella nutans). These soft
corals
are actually slow moving animals but are often mistaken for plants. (elephant ear sponge at the Florida Keys National Maritime Sancturay)
