Common name: Callyspongia

Callyspongia, commonly known as vase sponges, are a family of marine sponges found in a variety of colors and shapes. They are filter feeders, playing a crucial role in the ecosystem by cleaning water. In the aquarium, they require moderate to strong water flow and good water quality to thrive. They are non-aggressive and can be placed near other sessile invertebrates, but they need space to grow. Callyspongia species are fascinating for their intricate structures and can add a unique natural aesthetic to a reef tank.
