I have seen an orange sponge in a shop and is just wondering, does anyone have experience in keeping these in his tank? What are the advantages / disadvantages?
Could explain why mine didnt last , but what keeps the detritis of of it if the flow doesnt wash it off ?I've heard low flow advocated for cryptic zones tho....
Thax for the infoThe white ones are the shallow water ones. Like the little pineapple sponges.
Must also remember that sponges grow in areas where the rock is 100% exposed at low tide so I dont know about being exposed to air but perhaps some species are not tolorent of our atmospheric conditions, I have alot of sponge on my good LR in my sump and it gets exposed when the water level is low and its been gowing for years with no issues
