Common name: Hemiasterellidae sponges

Hemiasterellidae is a family of marine sponges found in various reef environments. These sponges are known for their intricate skeletal structures, often composed of spongin fibers and siliceous spicules that provide support and deter predators. They can exhibit a range of colors and forms, contributing to the biodiversity and aesthetic appeal of reef aquariums. Hemiasterellidae sponges are filter feeders, playing a role in nutrient cycling by processing dissolved organic matter. They require stable water conditions and moderate to strong water flow to thrive in captivity.
