Dear Bernard,
The yellow sponge in Baki's photo is most probably Aplysina aerophoba. Normally
this species is eaten by another mollusk, Tylodina perversa. Aplysina is
the correct name for Verongia. Concerning the pigment, there are probably recent references, but this old one could easily be forgotten:
•Abeloos M. & Abeloos R. 1932. Sur les pigments hépatiques de Doris tuberculata Cuv. (Mollusque Nudibranche) et leurs relations avec les pigments de l'Eponge Halichondria panicea (Pall.). Comptes Rendus de la société de Biologie.

Best wishes
