Haliclona is a genus of sponges within the family Chalinidae, known for their diverse forms and colors, ranging from encrusting to branching shapes. They are filter feeders, playing a crucial role in water purification within the aquarium. Haliclona species are relatively hardy and can adapt to a variety of tank conditions, making them suitable for many reef aquariums. They often host a range of microorganisms, contributing to a balanced ecosystem. Care should be taken to provide them with adequate water flow and to avoid placing them in direct, strong light.
