What kind of Sponge is this? I was thinking of getting a sponge and think that this one looks very cool and want to get one so what is it called and do they sell these kind of sponges?

 

[m0nk]

I'd like to see the answer as well.

I think its a vase sponge. Good luck finding one. I've never seen one for sale in 6 yrs.

Why dont they sell these tho? Because they are rare? I can frag them when they get big.

They are way too big for your nano's. Stick with smaller kinds of sponges.

If I'm not mistaken they are illegal to have. They grow in protected reefs in Floridia and the carribean. Please correct me if I am wrong. I'd give up you'll just be heartbroken time and time again. They are beautiful and fasinating though.

Nooffence coral, but if you see it in the wild, and it gets big, dont try it at home, and also, especially near teh US. And dont try to find one because ittl put you in jail for dealing on or with teh black market.
