Best Answer

Redbeard sponges can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction takes place when branches are damaged or broken off and the broken fragments regenerate or bud into complete sponges.

Sexual reproduction occurs when:

  • One sponge releases clouds of sperm into the water.
  • The sperm is carried to another sponge, and eggs are fertilized internally.
  • The fertilized eggs are then released into the water, where they develop into larvae.
  • Larvae fall to the bottom and search for a suitable surface to settle on. Once they attach themselves, they metamorphose into juvenile sponges.

Young redbeard sponges are usually flat, rather than thick and branching. However, they have the same bright coloring as adults.
