Anybody want to come here and trim sponge?

[Paul B]

I just spent an hour cutting sponges off my corals and I have the stuff growing all over the place. I do this every few months and it is time consuming but kind of relaxing. I need to do it because if I don't, instead of a reef, I would have a sponge farm.

So if you are bored or like delicate kind of work, let me know.
I am out east on the north fork of Long Island New York. That is in the US so if you are in India, South Africa or Bayonne New Jersey, this may be a trip.

If anyone wants to help me do this, I will give you a nice piece of a very old gorgonian from this piece.



Here is the sponge I just trimmed.


When I trim it my brittle stars spawn.

Paul, I'm very much surprised you're not putting some marinara sauce on those sponges and eating them!

My wife asked me if I could dry them and use them for sponges to wash the car.

It's this blue stuff. Kind of nice looking.
