This is the third time we've seen this sponge,
the two other times were in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands,
and now we know it's in the Musicians as well.
It's a very rare sponge we've seen nowhere else.
The second colony we saw of this sponge, now it's listed as the largest sponge ever encountered in the world or documented in the world.
Those two laser points are 10 centimeters, or four inches, apart.
Yeah and I just got on the chat from Megan who's got some software that she can measure things with the lasers,
and it's nearly four meters long, about 12 feet long.
For scale, about how long is the D2?
It's nine feet tall and eight feet long.
Mega sponge. Mega sponge.
This is more like, instead of a minivan, maybe a smart car sponge?
Volkswagen Bug sponge. Volkswagen Bug sponge.
This is the last sponge that I expected you guys to see on this cruise.
