Harp Sponge (from the depths of the ocean)

Saw this via Facebook today, and thought it was rather interesting. This is a carnivorous sponge.

Found very deep in the ocean, 10,800ft to 11,500ft - way deeper than you'll ever go unless you've got the funds to send a rover submarine down there.

That is really kule! Who will find one for their ultra depth tank?
Might be tough getting past the DFWMAS bedrock.
