How is it possible for a population of sponges which are sessile animals to disperse?
Lilmisscocky
Because sponges are one of the most simplex creatures on the planet, they weren't expected to be able to move. However, it has been discovered that for most species of sponge, they have a larval stage of about 24 hours in which they can swim. It is during this time that they spread out.
