Doc,
Concerning your question about the yellow sponge on which the Tylodina is feeding. It was previously known as Verongia aurea but is now Aplysina fistularis. See Daniel Gotshall's book (1994) Guide to Marine Invertebrates.

Thought I should check this out. Sponge taxonomists are quite rare and so checking for the appropriate name is sometimes quite difficult.
