Sponge facts: there's a "hole" lot to learn... | Animal Fact Files
Sponges don't look like they would be animals, but unlike plants sponges can't create their own food, so even though they don't move or even have organs like most animals, sponges are animals. Sponges come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They range from polar regions to the tropics, from freshwater to saltwater, and from tidal zones to the depths of the ocean. These filter feeders cycle water through the pores found throughout their bodies.
Scientific Name: phylum - Porifera
Range: worldwide
Size: varient
Diet: organic debris (filter feeding)
Lifespan: 100s to 1,000s of years!

Sea sponge could be the first animal on Earth
New genetic analyses led by MIT researchers confirm that sea sponges are the source of a curious molecule found in rocks that are 640 million years old. These rocks significantly predate the Cambrian explosion — the period in which most animal groups took over the planet, 540 million years ago — suggesting that sea sponges may have been the first animals to inhabit the Earth.

Sea Sponge Facts: 10 facts about Sea Sponges
Here are 10 facts about sea sponges to help gain a better understanding of this fascinating creature of the deep sea.
The corresponding post is here http://goo.gl/0u3eYy
Synopsis
10. Sea sponges are animals which neither have neither a central nervous system of a brain.
9. They are found on the floor of the ocean attaching them leaves to solid rocks. They do not have the ability move around
8. Sea sponges appear as dark in water as they have a dark membrane that covers them which is like a skin for them. This gives them good cover for the skeleton.
7. They are able to reproduce by coupling up with other sea sponges. A male sperm is ejected by the male and is caught by the female and the fertilization of her eggs begins. When they are ready tiny larvae are ejected and they settle on...

**********************************************************************
When people think of a sponge, they usually imagine something like this: a cleaning sponge for washing the dishes…or for washing the car. Cleaning sponges are synthetic these days, but they used to come from the ocean.
Back in the days before we had synthetic sponges for housework, cleaning sponges did come from the ocean. They were harvested by hard-hat divers walking along the ocean floor in heavy weighted boots with a rake-like tool to pluck the sponges off the bottom. It was a dangerous and difficult job.
Bagfuls of sponges were lifted to the boat above. Immediately, the crew set to work cleaning the sponges. Then they were hung to air dry. After days or weeks at sea, when the boat was full of sponges, they were taken to shore, where they were auctioned to the highest bidder. Finally they were trimmed, sorted and sold to the public.
Natural sponges are still harvested in nearly the same way today, but the synthetic sponge has spared the lives of countless ocean sponges!
While an ocean sponge looks something like a weird plant, it's actually an animal.
In fact, sponges are among the simplest multi-cellular animals on Earth. They live on the bottom of the ocean, attached to a surface and never moving because they can't walk or swim. Some are quite colorful, while others are drab. They also come in all shapes and sizes. There are tube sponges, vase sponges, barrel sponges, rope sponges, encrusting sponges and many other types. Sponges live from the frigid waters of the arctic and Antarctic, to the tropics. On many coral reefs, sponges dominate the sea floor and the drop off.
One of the most common sponges on coral reefs is the barrel sponge. Barrel sponges grow to epic proportions, getting larger than a person!
Although sponges can't walk or swim, they can feed. They do it by filtering tiny plankton from the water.
A sponge is covered with small pores, called ostia, which lead to a system of internal canals and eventually out to one or more larger holes, called oscula. Within the canals of the sponge, chambers are lined with specialized cells called choanocytes, or collar cells. The collar cells have a sticky, funnel shaped collar and a hairlike whip, called a flagellum. The collar cells serve two purposes. First, they beat their flagella back and forth like fans to move water through the sponge. The water brings in nutrients and oxygen, while it carries out waste and carbon dioxide. Second, the sticky collars of the collar cells pick up tiny bits of planktonic food brought in with the water.
Sponges are very effective filter feeders, since they are able to capture and eat particles as small as bacteria as well as much larger particles. They might not look like they are doing much, but a simple demonstration shows how effectively sponges can pump water.
On a reef in the Caribbean, I make a dive with a syringe filled with a non-toxic dye called fluorescein. By squirting it around the base of some sponges, we can observe how the water is moving by watching what the dye does.
Within only seconds, the dye is pumped through the sponges along with the water. As you can see, a sponge is a pretty good water pump, and also a good strainer. Any plankton that goes in with the water, won't come back out through the osculum.
Tube sponges are even more spectacular to observe. They pump the dye so furiously that they look like a collection of miniature smoke stacks!
Since sponges can't get together to reproduce, they spawn in a way similar to coral. The sperm is released into the water column by the male sponge and finds its way to the female sponges, where fertilization occurs internally. Eventually, the planktonic larvae are released from the female sponge and float around in the water column as plankton for only a few days. They then settle down and start growing.

New genetic analyses led by MIT researchers confirm that sea sponges are the source of a curious molecule found in rocks that are 640 million years old. These rocks significantly predate the Cambrian explosion — the period in which most animal groups took over the planet, 540 million years ago — suggesting that sea sponges may have been the first animals to inhabit the Earth.

The Octonauts are an adventure team who explore the world’s oceans, rescue the creatures who live there and protect their habitats – above and below the waves (from the rainforests of the Amazon to the deepest depths of the Midnight Zone).
Captain Barnacles Bear, ex-pirate Kwazii Cat, medic Peso Penguin and the rest of the crew fearlessly dive into action, deploying a fleet of aquatic vehicles, including their Octopus-shaped home-base, the Octopod.
Based on the richly imaginative books by Meomi, this sci-fi animated series combines immersive visuals and submersive humor to transport young children into a world that is both real and fantastic, full of mysteries to unravel and surprises around every corner.

Do you like SpongeBob? Oh, we just love him! And you know, it's always interesting to look at your favorite heroes from a different angle. And if the creator of the animated series is a marine biologist, then the characters must have something from the real inhabitants of the ocean, right? Well, except for the squirrel in the spacesuit... So, without further ado, let's take a look at Bikini Bottom residents in real life!

Here are 10 facts about sea sponges to help gain a better understanding of this fascinating creature of the deep sea.
The corresponding post is here http://goo.gl/0u3eYy
Synopsis
10. Sea sponges are animals which neither have neither a central nervous system of a brain.
9. They are found on the floor of the ocean attaching them leaves to solid rocks. They do not have the ability move around
8. Sea sponges appear as dark in water as they have a dark membrane that covers them which is like a skin for them. This gives them good cover for the skeleton.
7. They are able to reproduce by coupling up with other sea sponges. A male sperm is ejected by the male and is caught by the female and the fertilization of her eggs begins. When they are ready tiny larvae are ejected and they settle on the ocean floor and will grow into sea sponges
6. They feed by consuming water, ocean particles and plankton and then filtering the water out and swallowing the food that they need
5. Sea sponges get their oxygen from the flowing water
4. Around the world there are around 5000 species of sea sponge that exist
3. They have amazing powers of regeneration and have the ability to reform parts of the bodies that get broken off. Even more mind blowing The pieces that are broken off can also settle somewhere else and form into a clone of their parent sponge
2. When they are harvested, those collecting them leave the roots intact so that they can regenerate and grow back to their original form
1. When they are not harvested they have a lifespan of around 10 years in the wild.
