an example of calcareous sponge is SPONGE BOB!
The common name for calcareous sponges is "calcareous sponges" or simply "calcareous sponges." These sponges belong to the class Calcarea and are characterized by their calcium carbonate spicules. They are typically found in marine environments and can vary in shape and size.
Calcareous oozes form when the calcium carbonate shells and skeletons of marine organisms, such as foraminifera and coccolithophores, accumulate on the ocean floor. Over time, these calcareous remains compact and cement together to form a sediment known as calcareous ooze.
A calcareous sponge is any of a variety of sponge of the class Calcarea, with skeletons composed of spicules of calcium carbonate.
Calcareous ooze
Cocolithophores.

biogenous sediment
Lowering the pH to less alkaline and more acidic levels would cause more calcareous materials to dissolve in seawater thereby reducing the abundance of calcareous sediment on the seafloor.
As far as i know, calcareous means "containing or pertaining to calcium".
