Mexichromis from Sulawesi

Hi Bill,
After reading your information about the various Mexichromis species, my best guess for this one is Mexichromis mariei. It was 12mm long and about 15 meters deep on a sand slope with patch reef. It looks to me like it has munched away part of this sponge.

The sponge photo is a nice addition to our knowledge, even of we don't know what to call it as yet.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
