Guitarras [Guitarras]

Description

Guitarras is a genus of marine sponges within the family Niphatidae. These sponges are characterized by their unique skeletal structure, which is composed of spongin fibers interlaced with siliceous spicules. They typically inhabit tropical and subtropical waters, growing on rocky substrates or coral reefs. Their morphology varies from encrusting sheets to more elaborate branched forms, and they are known for their ability to filter large volumes of seawater, which they use to capture food particles.
