Common name: Agelas sponges

Agelasidae is a family of sponges found in reef environments known for their unique chemical compounds with potential pharmaceutical applications. They are characterized by a fibrous skeleton made of spongin and often have a branching or massive form. Agelas sponges are typically orange, yellow, or brown and can add a vibrant touch to a reef aquarium. They require moderate care, with stable water conditions and low to moderate water flow. It's important to provide them with plenty of space to grow, as they can become quite large and may produce chemicals that can affect other invertebrates in the tank.
