No Friend of Sponge Bob!

There’s been another new marine species discovered in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Tylodina fungina

This marine snail, Tylodina fungina, was collected in a dredge sample with its host sponge. This species feeds exclusively on a single species of sponge that exactly matches its bright yellow color. Despite being featured in field guides, very little is known about its biology. (Credit: Antonia Baeza, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute)
