A sea sponge has no specific shape(each one differs depending on how the sponge grows, which depends on environmental and genetic factors). It grows as a filter organism, taking in nutrient-rich water and expelling water with all or most of the nutrients removed. An artificial sponge can be just about any shape or size, depending on what the manufacturer wishes for it to be like.
