Bei Bild 2 könnte es sich auch um eine karibische Niphates digitalishandeln handeln

Identifiziert wurde Bild 2 von Chrysokoll, von dem auch der folgende Text stammt.

Da das Bild offensichtlich in der Karibik aufgenommen wurde, würde ich sagen:
Callyspongia vaginalis (verzweigter Vasenschwamm) hier unverzweigt

Haliclonia fusigera kommt im Roten Meer und im Indopazifik vor und nicht in der Karibik und ist schmaler

Callyspongia aerizusa kommt im Roten Meer und im Indopazifik vor und eine andere C. sp. ist glatter und dünnwandiger.
