Common name: Blue Sponge Family

The Dictyonellidae family, commonly known as the Blue Sponge Family, includes a variety of marine sponges found in reef environments. These sponges are known for their vibrant colors, often blue or purple, and their intricate, branching structures. They play a crucial role in the reef ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for other organisms. In the aquarium, they require stable water conditions and moderate to strong water flow to thrive. It's important to note that they can release toxins when stressed, so careful handling and acclimation are essential.
