Liosina cf paradoxa Thiele, 1899

This unusual encrusting white sponge appeared to be cut up, but it looked as though the pattern was natural. It was under a rock on a southern atoll pinnacle reef. The ID was suggested on iNaturalist, although it looks somewhat different from other postings under that name.
