Carmine particles, also known as carmine granules, are a type of pigment found in certain species of sponges within the phylum Porifera. These particles are typically red due to the presence of carminic acid, which is derived from cochineal insects. They serve various functions, including providing coloration and possibly offering some level of protection against predators. The presence of carmine particles can be an indicator of specific ecological conditions or evolutionary adaptations in sponge species.
