I have several photos of this sponge. it suppose to be the same only differant shape. I am still trying to figure the correct name.
I was told that it might be an "Axinella" of sort. is that true ?

Photos were taken in the Medeteranien, (Israel) at about 25 m.

Axinella usually has a flatter appearance at its extremities when it grows larger - I think this is a type of Haplosclerida.
 
Is there a site with photos I can compair the two ?
I searched using Google but got zil. ;-0
