In a throne up high
A graysby (Cephalopholis cruentata) inside a purple vase sponge (Callyspongia plicifera). Graysbys are common (in Bonaire) but skittish. On many previous occasions I have seen a similar image, tried to approach slowly, but before arriving in range, the graysby would slowly slip out of the sponge. Finally, I got one to be a little delayed in its departure.
