I have had my blue sponge in my tank for months, with no problems, but i did alot of reading, and was very carefuly when choosing one. I waited months for one, and when my LFS randomly got a shipment of 12 in, i waited 3 weeks to see if any of them were going to survive, one did, so i have had it for aound 4-5 months, and have seen a little growth out of it. IT recently got brokedn in a rock slide, but all parts are doing great. Its in high light, med-high flow.

Here is a close up of a blue one that came as a hitchhiker along with a red one next to it.... It has been in a low , almost hidden location of my tank for about a couple of years now..... Not a lot of growth, but seems to stay healthy.

Why is it that the hitchikers always do well, but the ones that we buy are most likely to die?

Beautiful picture. I have a similiar species, but it is purple. Came in on live rock, not bought, and doing wonderfully, has even grown.

that is a really nice color combo of sponges. I have some purple, alot of pink, a few yellow and some white sponges around on my rocks. I think that the type of sponge he is talking about though is different than the hitch hiker one. still an awesome pic though
