Orange Icing Sponge

Aspect:	Yellow (rather than orange in this area), it is readily recognisable to its typically large and translucent excurrent openings. As seen in some of the pictures herewith, it often encrusts under the edges of existing coral plates, even dramatically heaving their surface when room is needed to emplace an excurrent opening.
Population:	Common.
Notable feature:	Large translucent excurrent openings.
Environment:	Usually found in presence of plate coral formations.
