Nicely done...some of my favorite diving has been in Honduras.

As always thank you for the spotting of the day. Project Noah is such a wonderful place to see so much awesome life from all over the planet, and also such a great excuse to keep going out into nature. To Mark: The little blue cup is Niphates digitalis (Pink vase sponge) It comes in variety of colors. I didn't take a photo to feature it though :-( Next time. http://www.portol.org/guide/sp_92.html
