Yellow sponges exposed at low tide are suffocating. The part of the sponge underwater is alive. The part exposed to water is habitat for larvae, veligers, shrimp, and more but is not growing. Th exposed part can be transplanted and usually starts to grow again. A sponge 1 foot in diameter can filter a TON of seawater in 24 hours and consume up to an OUNCE of bacteria. Excellent for environmental clean up of harmful microbes, without use of chemicals. Even just a part of a sponge can grow a whole new animal Weight down the sponge with rock or substrate to give it something to attach to. www.provitapaxmarineresearch.org, welcomes your support...
