Sponge ID!

MontanaRocknReefer · 05-21-2003, 09:24 AM

I know there are several species of sponge and I read something on this one but can't find it again! It is growing quite nicely underneath a ledge in my largest and oldest LR!

have no idea on an exact ID. i have several in my tank. i even have several black ones (the are alive and growing). they seem to be doing fine, even with my limited feeding.

LOL Danielle! One thing about sponges is they help purify the water!
