This
species of encrusting sponge has an attractive purple color with a
slight iridescent sheen. It's photosynthetic and very hardy in
the aquarium once established. It grows in
interesting shapes and can be safely handled out of the water for
short durations. It can be glued to almost any surface and will
soon attach and grow. The sponge does have a few predators
including many species of urchins. This particular species is from the
Pacific and is grown in our facility. We ship a small frag (about
1") sized specimen.
