Yellow tube sponge/Sulphur sponge
Aplysina fistularis
Yellow tube sponges get their name from their hollow, chimney-like body form. They pump huge quantities of water through their bodies, filtering out the tiny particles on which they feed.
Statistics
The tubes are at least 60cm (24in) high.
Physical Description
At shallow depths yellow tube sponges have a shape which resembles a cactus. In deeper waters, the sponges develop long, straight tubes.
Their vivid yellow colour is probably due to special fluorescent pigments in the sponge tissue.
Distribution
Yellow tube sponges occur at a wide range of depths in tropical seas, from the surface to several hundred metres down.
Habitat
They are often found in areas with strong currents which facilitate the movement of water into their feeding canals.
Diet
These sponges are filter feeder that feed on bacteria, plankton and detritus.
Behaviour
Sponges are capable of pumping at least five times their own volume of water through their feeding canal every minute. They are able to filter out even the most microscopic bacteria and phytoplankton.
Reproduction
Sponges have male and female organs and reproduce sexually. They can also reproduce without sex: if a part breaks off, or fragments, it will form a new sponge.
I don't know too much, but I can give you their classifications
Kingdoms: Animalia
Phylum: Porifera
Class: Hexactinellida
Sub Orders: Antidiscophona and Hexasterophora
Family: Cladorhizidae
Genus: Hyalonema
Species: Sponge
You can squeeze them and they're obsorbent.
Glass sponges
no
sponges are use in washing plates,glass of water.some sponges are in/on salted water on the ocean floor.
Glass sponges are considered the class Hexactinellida.
it filters out bacteria from the water
barrel sponges are stupid!
get lots of sponges,towels,soap,and water.rubit on glass.and there you have it. you have shiny glass.
Its made up a fiber that resembles fiberglass.
Segmented worms live in sea sponges.
Sponges reproduce by having sex with their mate [conjugation] and making baby sponge Eggs that will touch Rock and stay on there for a few weeks until they can move and get their flagellas. Glass sponge does not appear in The Index.
sponges use toxins to repel would be predators
there is over 5000 speciesThey absorb water and you can release it by squeezing it
