@BoneHeadBrianTV @Natural_habitok the step before the platypus hand puppet ;)

@laspongehunters It is a hardy one! Also one that I would really like to see the symbiosis related gene expression for. I very much suspect our excessively green and your not so greens might be strongly related to symbiotic preference due to length of active growing season

Today's freshwater sponge collection trip was a success.
