Captains Island Cloud Sponges

I had a great day diving a wonderfully variated sponge wall at Captains island yesterday.
Over the years we've put in at least 8 different dives spots around the island this is the first time ive seen great sponges. they started around 80 ft and looked to continue well past 150.
Thanks Kal!
One  can see that theres trap or cannonball damage to some of them which is unfortunate.
A great day with Wayne and Rana. Will be back here next week for more exploration.
vis 70 ft+,temp 47F.
