00:00:06.263 --> 00:00:11.243
It's a beautiful chronoid there
attached to the sponge

2
00:00:11.243 --> 00:00:19.923
skeleton. Look at that. Is that
sponge both alive and dead?

3
00:00:19.923 --> 00:00:23.963
Exactly. So it's a zombie
sponge! Yes oh zombie sponge.

4
00:00:23.963 --> 00:00:27.883
That's a new one. So it's
actually quite interesting

5
00:00:27.883 --> 00:00:32.363
because it seems that a sponge
colonized the internal part of

6
00:00:32.363 --> 00:00:36.243
a dead skeleton. Look at that.

7
00:00:38.263 --> 00:00:41.803
How do you know that it's like
a new sponge that's colonized

8
00:00:41.803 --> 00:00:45.643
an old sponge versus a dying
sponge? Because you can see

9
00:00:45.643 --> 00:00:48.883
that it still has like the
typical wall as you can see

10
00:00:48.883 --> 00:00:52.363
there and on the outside you
see that it's a dead skeleton.

11
00:00:52.363 --> 00:00:55.883
So my guess is that this was
another Euplectella that was

12
00:00:55.883 --> 00:00:59.083
living there. And it died, it
left the skeleton behind and

13
00:00:59.083 --> 00:01:03.483
for some reason the larvae of
the Euplectella just found that

14
00:01:03.483 --> 00:01:07.203
to be a very good place to
settle and grow. And now it has

15
00:01:07.203 --> 00:01:10.563
extra protection. That's really
cool. Yeah it's very

16
00:01:10.563 --> 00:01:13.163
interesting.
