Chondrillidae, commonly known as Finger Sponges, are a family of sponges found in marine environments. They are characterized by their finger-like projections and can vary in color from yellow to dark brown. These sponges are filter feeders, drawing water through their bodies to extract nutrients. They are non-aggressive and can be placed in close proximity to other sessile invertebrates in a reef aquarium. Chondrillidae sponges are fascinating additions to a tank due to their unique structure and the role they play in water filtration.
