  2. Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray's_Reef_National_Marine...

    The reef's rocky sandstone outcrops, submerged beneath 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 m) of water, can be as tall as 2 to 3 metres (6 ft 7 in to 9 ft 10 in) and are highly complex. [2] These nooks and crannies provide plenty of places for marine invertebrates to latch on to and for fish to hide in. Together these animals form a dense tapestry of ...

  3. Aquaculture of sea sponges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_sea_sponges

    More than 8000 species of sea sponges live in oceanic and freshwater habitats. [1] Sponge fishing historically has been an important and lucrative industry, with yearly catches from years 1913 to 1938 regularly exceeding 181 tonnes and generating over 1 million U.S. dollars. However, this demand for sea sponges has seen catch rates peak and in ...

  4. Sponge reef - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge_reef

    Each living sponge on the surface of the reef can be over 1.5 m tall. The reefs are composed of mounds called "bioherms" that are up to 21 m high, and sheets called "biostromes" that are 2–10 m thick and may be many kilometers wide. [5] Each sponge in the order Hexactinosa has a rigid skeleton that persists after the death of the animal.

  5. Hexactinellid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexactinellid

    The sponges form reefs (called sponge reefs) off the coast of British Columbia, southeast Alaska and Washington state, [15] which are studied in the Sponge Reef Project. In the case of Sarostegia oculata, this species almost always hosts symbiotic zoanthids, which cause the hexactinellid sponge to imitate the appearance and structure of coral ...

  6. Archaeocyatha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeocyatha

    Flow tank experiments suggest that archaeocyathan morphology allowed them to exploit flow gradients, either by passively pumping water through the skeleton, or, as in present-day, extant sponges, by drawing water through the pores, removing nutrients, and expelling spent water and wastes through the pores into the central space. [citation needed]

  7. Keratosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratosa

    Keratosa, the keratose sponges or horny sponges, is a subclass of demosponges. [2] Keratosa sponges are nonspicular demosponges with organic spongin fibers forming flexible skeletons. [3] [4] Recently discovered in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, these sponges contribute to reef structures in tropical regions. [5]

  8. Live rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_rock

    Live rock prior to installation into a reef tank In J. Charles Delbeek's article Your First Reef Aquarium , [ 2 ] he states, The use of live rock immediately introduces into the aquarium numerous algae, bacteria and small invertebrates all of which contribute to the overall quality of the aquarium water.

  9. Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound Glass Sponge Reefs ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hecate_Strait_and_Queen...

    Prior to their discovery in 1987, glass sponge reefs were believed to have been extinct worldwide since the end of the Jurassic period. [1] The formation of glass sponge reefs requires a combination of unique geological conditions combined with the occurrence of the reef-forming species of Hexactinellid sponges.
