Just thought I'd share my newest addition. It's a finger sponge. What do you think?

What kind of sponges are they? Are they difficult to care for?

we just got some ones like you have, in at work, and they are about 3 feet long- DTs is good- the food needs to be pretty small- lots of light sometimes causes unwanted algae growth on them

havent yet- im going to try and get some though- btw have i seen you there?- im working this weekend? Ya- we just got the sponges about 2 days ago- There was a really nice sun coral in-the 200gal next to the tank with the sponges, about in the center of the tank- is that the one you got? How do ya like the big 300 display in front?

it is the huge tank you see right as you walk in, how can you miss that beauty?? Also that sun coral is the best looking one there- did you see the metallic leaf mushrooms- i have never seen that shiny green before in any mushrooms- but it is 50$ i really want one- If you stop by- say hi- you know who i am right- a pic is in the 1st page of the pictures post

Kickster --
I have it in somewhat of a shaded area (under a rock overhang). If I don't feed DT's, will it be okay? I've never heard of feeding a sponge. I don't have anything else in the tank that would benefit from phytoplankton right now so I hate to feed just the sponge, especially if it doesn't have to have it.

well- if it dosent get any food it will eventually die- Different microfauna (pods) will benefit from phytoplankton feeding too. If noone has told you of feeding sponges, well they werent doing their job. You shouldnt hate to feed anything- but- i would start

do you have any corals- featherdusters? Some corals benefit- just depends on which ones

Nope, no corals at all. It is strictly an invertebrate tank for right now. I guess the sea apple would come closest to enjoying DT's. Here's my list of inhabitants:
sponge, coral banded shrimp, sea apple, orange linckia star, cucumber, fighting conch, and various hermits
Every 3 days I dose 2 teaspoons of Coralife Invertebrate Smorgasbord. Would the sponge benefit from that at all?
