So...Johnnie sent me this picture of a so called Tiger Sponge. Anyone know what exactly this thing is? He said it sold for $100 on ebay.

Thanx Erick I really liked this sponge, but after finding no info I wonder if it was a scam. Johnnie

Yes it it, I really loved it. I stopped bidding at $100.00, it sold for $132.00 + shipping. Afterwards I tried to look it up, but found NOTHING! I dont know if its real or GASP... computer enhanced....lol. I wonder if anyone on B.A.R.S. or ORCA has heard of it. If anyone of you could put it up on those 2 sites, i'd be thankful, I tried but couldn't do it Thanx Johnnie

Here are the only two options I came up with. I know the colors may not matcy exactly but you have another angle on what it may be. Good luck man. Really cool looking animal.

Leptoclinides reticulatus
or
Botrylloides sp

They are both under the Sea Squirt section.

I believe those are zoa-encrusted sponges. Lee had one for sale recently, although I didn't ask how much. I also saw some at sealifeinc.net for $15-$25. The white is supposed to be a type of zoanthid.
