Typically, sponges feed on bacteria which they filter out of the water. They have special cells with whip-like flagella. The beating of the flagella creates a current of water into the sponge, carrying bacteria, which they filter out.
A sponge can pass up to 20 000 times its own volume in water through its body in 24 hours.
