Sponge fish, also known as spongivorous fish, primarily feed on marine sponges. They have specialized feeding behaviors and anatomy that allow them to efficiently consume and digest sponges, which are often toxic or unpalatable to other organisms. In addition to sponges, sponge fish may also consume small invertebrates or algae found in the same habitat.
It eats sponges and stony corals these two foods are their favorite.

One of the top predators for yabbies is an Azure Kingfisher. Unlike other animals, the Azure Kingfisher dives under the water to catch the yabby. Other birds include kookaburras, spoonbills, jabirus and even common domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks and geese. These birds usually either use their beaks to pluck the yabby from the water or just eat them when the yabby are out of water.
Sponges are made up of two different types of organisms - one type are plantae, the other anamalia. Although it is debatable, sponges are classified as anamalia because part of them is animal.
They can reproduce sexually and asexually.

yes we as humans are destroying sponge and that makes us a preditor to these sponges
Vase sponges, belonging to the class Demospongiae, are known for their distinctive funnel or vase-like shape, which helps in filtering water and capturing nutrients. They are primarily found in marine environments, often attached to substrates in shallow waters. These sponges can grow quite large, with some species reaching several feet in height. Additionally, vase sponges play a crucial role in their ecosystems by providing habitats for various marine organisms.
all sponges dont have teeth, so they eat small plankton.
yes they do
Strawberry vase sponges have a distinctive appearance, resembling a vase or a cluster of strawberries. They typically feature a bright red or orange coloration, with a textured, bumpy surface that resembles the seeds on a strawberry. Their shape is often cylindrical or funnel-like, and they can grow up to several feet tall. These sponges are commonly found in shallow marine environments, often attached to coral reefs or rocky substrates.
They eat bacteria, plankton and detritus.
The reasons why any animal eats a particular organism is never clear. A top reason why Nudibranchs might eat 'toxic sponges' is that there was not much else available to eat and it was easy to eat the sponges. These sponges were a niche that was unfilled and the Nudibranches adapted to take it. The sponges are still partially toxic to Nudibranchs! They often have specially lined stomachs to protect them from the sponges sharp spicules and the toxins from the sponge accumulate in them. When a predator tries to eat a nudibranch it gets a nasty mouthful of these toxins.
There are 6 different types of sea sponges, the tube sponge, vase sponge, yellow sponge, bright red tree sponge, painted tunicate sponge, and the sea squirt sponge.
