Callyspongiidae
Description

Callyspongiidae sponges often appear as branching, encrusting, or cushion-like growths that add texture to reef walls. While they may not be “flashy” like fish, divers appreciate them for their intricate shapes and the way they host tiny creatures in their nooks and crannies.
