Hi Larry,

Not upset at all. In fact I find it very interesting that you've
uncovered this remarkably similarity between the sponge and the
image in the photo.

However, I'd like some further thoughts from you on this. At the
great pressure at which the picture was taken, how would the
arms of the sponge remain so rigid? Of course, some will say
that since a sponge is porous, that the internal (water)
pressure of the structure was more or less the same as the
external and is thereby "held" rigid--but even at a depth in
excess of 12,000 or 13,000 feet? In terms of the sponge itself,
just how porous are the "arms" or stalks of the sponge in
question, and how does this affect its rigidity? Have you
examined an actual specimen of this deep-sea animal?

Finally, most or ALL sponges quiver, wave, bend and fluctuate in
ocean currents like tree leaves and branches do in the wind.
How is the reconciled with the fact that the "arms" in the
photo are at perfect right angles, evenly spaced, despite the
tremendous depth and pressure, currents, etc. of the
environment? In other words, if the sponge "droops" as it does
in the naturalist's drawing, then it certain does not exhibit
the structural rigidity under tremendous pressure as shown by
the object in the photo.....


You might want to ruminate on these things a bit.
