A harp sponge. There are so many different and strange types of sponge... 🧪
Meet the harp sponge. We’ve observed this unique sponge only about a dozen times in the last few decades. The intricate structure of this animal is comprised of multiple vanes whose upright branches and evenly spaced filaments are arranged in a way that resembles a harp or a lyre. #MBARIFromTheVault

Are the Gove curriculum & exam reforms to blame?
I don't think so, because the decline of Eng Lit / the humanities more broadly is a global trend.
