It's a shame the Cream Honeycomb Sponge doesn't have any honey in it.

And that the honeycomb is only cream-coloured, rather than actual cream.

Otherwise we could just swim off the coast of eastern Australia and gather dessert from the sponge gardens.

Look on the bright side: at least they aren't filled with millions of sea bees.

...they're not, are they?

Honey cream sounds good. Honey Cream sponges, on the other hand......not so much.

Also, here's something to research: http://news.yahoo.com/magnificent-blue-glow-hong-kong-seas-disturbing-212943493.html

@Crunchy: I don't think so. Which is good because sea bees would probably be a thousand times more deadly than normal bees if they existed.

@TexWisGirl: Holes instead of spikes, a kind of anti-cactus!

@Porakiya Draekojin: Haha! Exactly!

That link is incredible! Such a shame something so beautiful can be bad news
