Strange creature ID

Sitting in a crevase so it's hard getting a good picture but it's got the color of a pineapple sponge but it's very large with these white long tentacles. The tentacles are probably 3/4 inches

Sponge, beneficial for removing DOC and converitng into DIC, and probably a fair amount more behind your rocks.

Thanks!! Any idea what kind? I've had plenty of pineapple sponges but they are always so small, this thing looks like a baseball

Sorry, identfying specific species isn't easy, partly the picture doesn't sow as much detail as desired but significantly sponges can be quite variable in appearance and two specimens of the same species can look very different.
