Invertebrate- Sponge- Red Beard Sponge





The Red beard sponge a red or orange sponge that branches out, sought of like some plants do. Each of the Red Sponges branches is about 6 millimetres in diameter. This sponge can grow up to 20 centimetres in height. They have pores all over the sponge that take in water to keep it alive and then when it is taken from the water it dries out and turns into a brown colour.
