Orange Ball Sponge - Cinachyrella spp.

Orange Ball Sponge - Cinachyrella spp.

ID:  Dull to bright orange ball sponges found on TBS live rock. 2"- 3"

Tips:  Sponges are filter feeders and appreciate a well-fed tank. Phytoplankton supplements and other small micron sized foods can be carefully dosed to keep them happy. Moving detritus into the water column with a turkey baster or small pump is very beneficial to sponges. In general, higher flow, low light, nutrient filled water. Dosing phytoplankton is highly recommended.
