SPonges have no respiratory or excretory organs; these functions are preformed by diffusion.

There are many features that distinguish grantia as an animal. The main feature is locomotion which is a key feature for animals.
Grantia compressa was created in 1780.

The Grantia Canal System is called the "Sycon (syconoid) Canal System." This means that the canals from the sponges inside (excurrent canals) and those from the outside (incurrent canals) of its body wall end blindly, but are connected at right angles by openings called prosopyles. This type of canal system is intermediate in canal complexity. The canals are the pathways the water takes through the sponge.

Grantia belong to the class Calcarea, a class of marine sponges characterized by their calcareous (calcium carbonate) spicules. They are filter feeders that are commonly found in shallow coastal waters.
