Hemimycale is a genus of marine sponges found in reef environments. These sponges are known for their bright colors and interesting shapes, which can add a unique aesthetic to a reef aquarium. They are filter feeders, playing a crucial role in nutrient cycling by processing dissolved organic matter.
