Genus
Common name: Chalice Sponge
Scientific name: Leucetta
Leucetta is a genus of calcareous sponges found in various marine environments. These sponges are known for their delicate, cup-like structure and are often white or pale in color. They play a role in the reef ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for small organisms. In the aquarium, they require stable water conditions and moderate lighting. They are non-aggressive and can be placed near other peaceful invertebrates or corals, making them suitable for community tanks.
