Tube Sponges [Aplysinellidae]

Description

Aplysinellidae is a family of tube sponges found in marine environments. These sponges are characterized by their tube-like structures, which are often large and can form extensive networks. They are known for their bright colors, ranging from yellow to red, and their porous bodies that filter water to feed on microscopic organisms. Members of this family are important components of reef ecosystems, contributing to the structural complexity and biodiversity of these habitats.
