Many coral reef organisms eat yellow tube sponges like angelfishes, filefishes, cowfishes and spadefish. Also the Hawksbill sea turtle.
tube sponges come in many natural colors such as brown, dull green and yes, yellow. secondly tube sponges reproduce by spliting their selves in half. so i guess their only family is the one sponge.
porifera
i dont think i know ... :P
Tube Sponges are in the Class: Demospongiae, subordinate to the Phylum: Porifera.
They can grow up to be one meter (three feet) tall.
Yes they are.
No.
the yellow tube sponge which lives at the depth of 30 feet is capable of pumping water at high speed ......by doing so it takes in small microscopic plants from surroundings... They eat bacteria, plankton and detritus. When they take in water... they filter these things out, and can filter even the smallest bacteria.
Along coral wall faces at depths of 40 to 80 feet
There are 6 different types of sea sponges, the tube sponge, vase sponge, yellow sponge, bright red tree sponge, painted tunicate sponge, and the sea squirt sponge.
Since they are, well, SPONGES, their main purpose is to reproduce by budding, filter feed, and recover from damage by regrowing lost "limbs", if you can call it that.
not necessarily .
