TBS Founder, “A different type of yellow ball sponge.”

Reds, oranges, yellow, greens, blues, purples, browns, white and black; all the colors of the rainbow sponges are found on TBS live rock. Encrusting, finger, knobby and balls; uniquely shaped sponges can be found on our rock. Premium Live Rock will normally have one or two of the sponge colors above.

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. Some sponges like to be on top of the rock and others prefer to be on the bottom. We will package the premium rock oriented in the manner as to which they were harvested from the ocean bottom for your reference.
