sponges capture bacteria, plankton,and other tiny organic particles.

Yes, sponges provide food for a number of different organisms such as nudibranchs, sea stars, fishes, and turtles.
turtles are omnivores they eay meat and plants like shrimp mollusks jelly fish sponges squid
They eat Horse shoe crabs, shrimp, clams, sea urchins, sponges, fishes, squids and octopuses
Some animals that eat sponges include sea slugs, sea stars, certain species of fish, and turtles. These organisms feed on sponges by either picking at them or by sucking them in through their mouth openings.
Plant matter, Squid, Crab, and other small sea creatures.
Sea sponges do not have many natural predators. The only animal that has been known to feed on sea sponges are sea slugs.
Marine turtles primarily eat a variety of foods depending on their species. For example, green sea turtles are mainly herbivorous, consuming seagrasses and algae, while loggerhead turtles are carnivorous, feeding on jellyfish, crabs, and other invertebrates. Hawksbill turtles primarily eat sponges, and leatherback turtles mainly consume jellyfish. Overall, their diets reflect their adaptations to different marine environments and available food sources.
Hawksbill sea turtles are omnivores. That means they eat both meat and plants. Hawksbills eat sponges, jellyfish, sea urchins, mollusks, crustaceans, tunicates, shrimps, and squids. Hawksbill turtles will also feed on dead marine animals, grasses, other plants from the bottom of the ocean, and grass beds at different parts of the ocean.Hawksbill turtles are one of the only turtles that eat sponges. Hawksbill turtles sometimes will eat toxic sponges. The hawksbill is not poisoned, but it stores the toxin in its flesh. When the flesh of the sea turtle is eaten, the predator that ate it could die from food poisoning.
There are several species of sea turtles (marine turtles). Some are omnivorous and will eat a variety of plant and animal life. Green turtles are omnivorous, but become exclusively herbivorous with age. Leatherback turtles feed almost exclusively on jellyfish. Hawksbill turtles diet is 70-95% of sponges. Bearing in mind the slowness of a swimming turtle compared with the swimming speed of a penguin, I doubt that sea turtles even get the chance to actually eat a penguin.
There are thousands of marine animals in the ocean. Dolphins, Sharks, Sea turtles,Sponges, and many types of fish. I'm pretty sure that plankton floats in the currents and animals such as sponges eat them.
