These sponges require a moderate water flow and dim light to do well.Common Sea Squirt(Didemnum molle)This species of sea squirt is verry common on the reef, and is usually found in deep water. It can be found encrusting the rocks in large colonies. This squirt's leathery bag-like body has a white and gray or brown spotted exterior with a bright green interior. It is sometimes introduced into the aquarium on live rock.Painted Tunicate(Clavelina picta)The tunicates are very similar to sea squirts. They take water in through a large opening where nutrients are filtered out. The water is then expelled through another opening. Painted tunicates are about 3/4 inch long and commonly grow in colonies. They are found in translucent red, purple, and yellow colors.
How do you explain what the niche of a frog is?
The niche of an animal is all the conditions it can tolerate and where it lives. There are two types of niches. A broad and narrow niche. An animal that has a broad niche can tolerate more conditions rather than an animal that has a narrow niche. An example of an animal that has a broad niche is an opposum. An example of an animal that has a narrow niche is a panda bear. A frog generally tends to have a broad niche. It can live in areas that have little water sources to areas that have a vast region as water sources.

What is a Purple Tube Sponge?
This is from www.reefnews.com: This Purple Tube Sponge colony lives on a dead coralhead. The coral may have succombed to the algae and sponges that grew over the polyps and killed them. Now the skeleton of the coral supports a variety of sponges and algae. Sponges are colonies of thousands of individual cells. The cells work together, pumping water through the body of the sponge. The tall tube is in the shape of a "chimney." This chimney is an exhaust tube, where the water pumped by the sponge comes out. The sponge eats the plankton it filters out of the water as the water is pumped through the body of the sponge. Animals that eat sponges and algae help to keep a healthy balance on the reef. If there are too few of these animals, then the sponges and algae may take over. Examples of algae eaters are Parrotfishes, Sea Urchins, and Crabs. Examples of sponge eaters are Hawksbill Turtles and Loggerhead Turtles.
