Common name: Neopetrosia sponges

Neopetrosia is a genus of marine sponges found in reef environments. These sponges are known for their robust and often brightly colored structures, which can add a unique aesthetic to a reef aquarium. They play a vital role in the ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for microorganisms. In captivity, they require stable water conditions and moderate to strong water flow to thrive. Neopetrosia species are also interesting for their chemical compounds, some of which have been studied for potential pharmaceutical applications.
