Mycale laevis, the White or Orange King or Boring Sponge. Bright orange to yellow with white excurrent siphons. Grow under, about a few species of stony corals, actually protecting them from bio-erosion by other/boring sponge species. Cozumel 2019.



Agelas citrina, /The Sponge Guide:

Notes: Pinkish, tan or orange, ear-shaped thick fans; orange when filling crevices. It may be confused with Agelas clathrodes (Schmidt, 1870), also pictured here, which is harder. A. citrina has a thick skin, which in some portions forms conules or it is stretched over depressions. When they co-exist in the same locality, they can be distinguised by color, being milkier and lighter in A. citrina. Spicules are acanthostyles.
