Aplysina aerophoba
- ... that the yellow sponge Aplysina aerophoba turns blue when exposed to the air? Source: "The Yellow Tube Sponge, also known as the Golden Sponge, is a species in the class of the Demospongiae and thus belongs to the phylum of the Porifera. Aplysina aerophoba was first described in 1833 by Nardo. Aerophoba is Greek and means fear of air. It bears this scientific name because it blushes blue when it comes into contact with air."
