Kissing a sponge

[ReyeR]

We went for a night dive last night (Friday) to a dive site at North Head which is at the mouth of the Sydney Harbour. This cute litte fellow, a pygmy leatherjacket, was sleeping (well until we came along) by hanging on to the sponge with it's mouth.

Great pictures! Don't try this at home, though...

Leatherjacket? I've seldom seen one that small but it looks like one of our (Caribbean) White Spotted Filefish. Cousins most likely!

Very nice find!
