Yellow Encrusting Sponge

This is here not so much for what it is, but rather for what it's not. This is the floor of a cave. After taking this shot, I proceeded towards a "window" or opening in the cave where daylight filtered through. I didn't have a flashlight and, aside from the window, it was pitch. The sunlight was a yellow green. A little further in and something in my gut said "stop." Just then the silhouette of a shark cut through the windows yellow light, dimming all around and providing an incredible feeling of menace. When I got back to the boat, I found out that, while I concentrated on reviewing this shot, the same 8 foot silver-tip had swam in between my legs into the cave.
