no....yes.....it can be and can't at the same time.....
There is no such thing as an "adult larva" , a larva is always immature ( a "baby"). If you mean "how is a sponge larva different from and adult sponge?" The answer is: 1. The larva is almost microscopic. You can't really see it with your bare eye. 2. the larva swims around. an Adult sponge stays attached to a surface for its lifetime and can't swim

Yes, but only through ocean current.
A larva is an immature form of a sponge looks very different from the adult sponge.
Larva
They are similar because both cnidarian and a sponge is that they both live in water.
Sexual reproduction of a sponge Sponges do not give birth or hatch from an egg. A sponge has both sperm and egg cell. The sponge releases sperm cell. The sperm cell lands in another sponge and fertilizes the egg cell in the sponge. The sperm and egg cell produce a larva. A larva is an immature form of an animal that looks different from the adult form. The larva gets taken away by the current and lands on a hard surface and grows into a sponge. Budding of a sponge ( a form of asexual reproduction) off the sides of a sponge a sponge grows. That sponge breaks off and lands on a hard surface and is a sponge.
Sponges may reproduce sexually and asexually. Most sponges are hermaphrodites, both male and female. In sexual reproduction, the male sponge releases sperm into the water, which travels in the current and then enters a female sponge. After fertilization in the sponge, a larva is released into the water. It floats around for a few days and then sticks to a solid surface to begin its growth into an adult sponge. Sponges are also able to reproduce asexually through budding. A small piece of sponge breaks off and grows into another sponge with DNA identical to the parent sponge.
They do. They reproduce in three ways: Sexual Reproduction: Sponges are sessile, which means that they cannot move. Instead of making physical contact, one sea sponge will act as a male and release its sperm into the water. Then another sponge (female) either a meter away or a mile away will absorb the sperm and use it to fertilize itself. The baby sponge will become a free swimming larva, the only time it can swim/move. It will find a plankton rich area to settle down in and grow as a sponge there. Asexual Reproduction: This is the easier way. A sponge loses a chunk of itself and it grows into a new sponge. This new sponge skips the larva stage and is a 'young sponge' at birth. Internal Fertilization: A sponge create both the egg and the sperm, thus fertilizing itself. Note: Some sponges can chose if they want to be male or female, and others can't. Also, some sponges are both male and female. A video I have found helpful in my research, can be found in the related link
the larva is called the Planula
Well, larva is like a baby bug, but there are different types of larva. Like beetle larva, fly larva, etc.
