Dear Bill,
Thanks for the identification of P. meandrina. To answer your question about the yellow sponge I included a photo of two P. rosans on the same yellow-green sponge (which looks more like an algae here).

Location: Pereybere, Mauritius, Indian Ocean
Site: Marengo
Depth: 13m
Size of the biggest: 25-30mm

Best wishes,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
I think this is algae. I have included part of your photo from a separate message. The 'sponge' is more flattened here but you can see the edge of a layer overlapping another. I agree it sems to be an alga.
