Cladorhizidae sponge as requested by @apxperfectionist.bsky.social from an image by Ivan Marin. This was a real challenge so it's not my best. This is as good as I could get it in the time available. About 3 hours in total. #InvertFest #OneHourAnimal #Sponge #SciArt

This is incredible. At first glance, I thought it was a photograph.
