Common name: Podospongiidae Sponges

Scientific name: Podospongiidae

Podospongiidae is a family of marine sponges found in coral reef environments. These sponges are known for their unique branching forms and vibrant colors, which can add a natural and diverse aesthetic to a reef aquarium. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for a variety of microorganisms. In the aquarium, they require stable water conditions and low to moderate flow to thrive. It's important to ensure they are not outcompeted for space and resources by faster-growing coral or algae species.
