    Ok, I take it that's a regular sized tub & those corals are just really big?!?!! I used to have a fish tank w/ those kinds of decorations (corals) in it - I think I still have some of the sea dollars.

    Nice display, I'll have two small ones please. Everything is small in Europe, so I can't get a big one!

    All that's missing is some water and a rubber duckie.

    The tub looks small...or are the sponges really big?

    @ EG - The tub may be a bit smaller than usual, but most of the sponges are quite large.

    @ Brattcat - Safe Leif from Eagan stole the rubber duckie! Made me really, really mad, too! ;-)

    Are you going to take a sponge bath, Jacob?

    In a way it is sad they are killed for public display and possible use. I think they were alive once upon a time. Maybe I am wrong.

    Great shot, Jacob. I love natural sponges. We went to Santorini a few years ago and the price of the sponge is based on the amount of water it soaks up. The more water, the higher the price.

    LOL, I thought you went crazy on Black Friday and got them as a deal :))). Are they grown or wild? In Croatia picking real sponges out of the sea is forbidden (ecology thing).

    @ Mirela - These are real. I remember some years back while visiting Cedar Key, boats would come in loaded with sponges.

    I don't know if harvesting wild sponges is illegal here or not.
