Found in a rock pool, unsure of its identification. It could be in the wrong category. I think it's a white cowled nudibranch.

Sea Pots
Numerous hollow pot-like structures seen at low tide,some about 30cm high.Some had some rounded stones inside,but these were stuck and immovable.Thus wave action plus grinding/tumbling effect of the stones the upon rocks could not be responsible for the pot formation.The surface looked pourous and fragile but the pots were quite hard.Any ideas how these are formed and what they are?

Freshwater sponge
Underwater photos. Sponge growing in completely fresh water on submerged dead branches - at depths of 10 to 200 cm. The deeper sponges are white, those nearer the surface green and mustard-yellow. Water is very clear and without any sediment. Diameter of sponges up to 10 cm - and spreading along a branch for 40 to 50 cm in places.

Freshwater sponge
Found on a sunken log. The sponge on the under surface is cream-coloured, while that on the upper surface is green. This likely indicates a symbiotic alga. Each sponge is about 5 cm long. The sponge has a prickly feel - from silicon spicules(?).

With a huge number of species, even pretty high resolution light microscopy couldn't get me a certain species.

Extensive patches of this plant growing in the mopani woodland near the safari tents. Growing wild as there are no formal gardens in this part of the camp.
