This image of a square yellow sponge and pink five-pointed starfish was taken by ROV on July 27, at a depth of 1,885 meters during the Retriever Seamount expedition off the coast of Retriever Seamount, New England.

However, Christopher says that the Species is unclear, and could even be new to science.
