Dear Matan,
Thanks for the photo. This red sponge has usually been identified as a species of Latrunculia, but the advice I have is that it is more likely to be a species of Clathria, a quite different family of sponges. So any photos showing the detail of the sponge and the shape of the colony are very welcome.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
