Common name: Amphoriscidae sponges

Amphoriscidae is a family of calcareous sponges found in marine environments. These sponges are characterized by their calcium carbonate spicules, which provide support and deter predators. They are filter feeders, playing a role in nutrient cycling by consuming bacteria and organic particles. In the aquarium, they can be interesting additions due to their unique shapes and contribution to water quality. They require stable water conditions and low to moderate flow to thrive.
