Scientific name: Homosclerophorida
Homosclerophorida is an order of marine sponges found in a variety of reef environments. These sponges are known for their unique cellular structure and lack of a true skeleton. They often form encrusting or massive shapes and can be colorful, adding diversity to the reef. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for other organisms. In the aquarium, they require stable water conditions and low to moderate flow to thrive.
