Giant barrel sponges, like other sponges, are sessile organisms and do not move in the traditional sense. Instead, they are anchored to the ocean floor and rely on water currents to bring them nutrients and oxygen. While they cannot move from place to place, they can adjust their shape slightly in response to environmental factors such as water flow. Their structure allows them to filter feed effectively while remaining fixed in their location.
No, barrel sponges do not migrate. They are sessile organisms, meaning they are permanently attached to a surface and do not move from one place to another. Barrel sponges rely on water currents to bring them food and oxygen.
Barrel sponges are large marine sponges that can grow to several feet in height and width. They are filter feeders, meaning they filter water to obtain nutrients. Barrel sponges are found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide.

Sponges are sessile, meaning they do not move. Once a sponge chooses a place to be, it usually remains there for life.
yes, it is
all sponges are beneficial in the kingdom of porifera because sponges do not move and do not harm any other organisms
They cannot but babies can move around by swimming.
