Callyspongia plicifera [Callyspongia plicifera]
Description
Callyspongia plicifera typically appears as a firm, textured sponge with folded or ridged surfaces that create a rugged, reef-like pattern. Divers may find it in sheltered spots where it’s protected from strong surge, often growing in patches on rock. Its shape and texture make it a favorite for close-up viewing, especially when light catches the ridges.
