Along coral wall faces at depths of 40 to 80 feet
Modern sponges are predominantly marine, with some species adapted to freshwater environments, ranging from the inter-tidal zone to depths of 6,000 meters (19,680 feet). Certain types of sponges are limited in the range of depths at which they are found. sponges are worldwide in their distribution, and range from waters of the polar regions to the tropical regions. sponges are most abundant in both numbers of individuals and species in warmer waters.www.junglewalk.com/photos/Sponge-pictures.html
The Latin name for a Yellow Tube Sponge is Aplysina aerophoba.
Some species of sea sponges are threatened by factors like habitat destruction, pollution, and overharvesting. It is important to monitor and protect these organisms to ensure their survival in the oceans.
As far as officials know, most sponges are not endangered. Very few aquatic sponges are harvested and this small number is not large enough to have an effect on their population. There are over 5000 varieties of known sponges and only some fresh water sponges are known to be in danger at this time.
Sea sponges are found in a variety of habitats in the ocean, from shallow coastal waters to deep-sea environments. They typically attach themselves to hard surfaces like rocks, coral reefs, or the ocean floor. Sea sponges can also be found in both warm and cold waters around the world.
porifera
tube sponges come in many natural colors such as brown, dull green and yes, yellow. secondly tube sponges reproduce by spliting their selves in half. so i guess their only family is the one sponge.
Many coral reef organisms eat yellow tube sponges like angelfishes, filefishes, cowfishes and spadefish. Also the Hawksbill sea turtle.
i dont think i know ... :P
Tube Sponges are in the Class: Demospongiae, subordinate to the Phylum: Porifera.
They can grow up to be one meter (three feet) tall.
Purple tube sponges have few natural enemies due to their chemical defenses and habitat preferences. However, they may be consumed by some predators, such as sea urchins, certain nudibranchs, and some fish species. Overcrowding and competition for space with other filter feeders can also pose a threat to purple tube sponges.
ocean
Yes they are.
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.
sponges are really only one color which is yellow A)you can die sponges,so really they can be any color but they are mostly yellow
