A calcisponge is any of a group of marine sponges containing calcareous spicules - spicules which resemble calcium carbonate.
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.
Any of numerous aquatic, chiefly marine invertebrate animals of the phylum Porifera, characteristically having a porous skeleton composed of fibrous material or siliceous or calcareous spicules and often forming irregularly shaped colonies attached to an underwater surface.

The calcareous tubeworm is a marine worm. It is commonly found in the intertidal zone, but may live at depths up to 100 meters.

The hydra has radial symmetry. The hydra belongs to the phylum Cnidaria and many immobile species in this phylum exhibit radial symmetry. Some marine animals that have bilateral symmetry are fish, sea turtles, and marine mammals.
Echinoderms such as starfish and similar marine animals with radially symmetrical bodies have bone-like calcareous skeletal plates in their skin
Porifera are sea sponges. They have no symmetry (asymmetrical) and they are one of the most basic forms of life. They have a 2 cell layer wall made of collar cells, spicules, amoeba like cells, and a layer of epidermal like cells. The spicules and the amoeba like cells are in between the layer of collar cells and epidermal cells. Sponges also have pores throughout their structure. Porifera include freshwater sponges as well of marine varieties. Freshwater sponges are common although not obvious. Frequently they are green in color due to included algae.
