摘要：
Sponges and corals are well-known competitors for space on coral reefs. Only a few documented observations are known of sponge-coral interactions in which the latter dominate the former. In the Caribbean, reef-dwelling sponges are generally abundant and have a reputation of being aggressive competitors for space. The present study is exceptional, because it reports on corals overgrowing sponges.
