There are many factors such as light, salinity , pH , dissolved oxygen and the accumulation of waste products that influence the growth rate of sponges.
Although adult sponges are fundamentally sessile animals, some marine and freshwater species can move across the sea bed at speeds of 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) per day, as a result of amoeba-like movements of pinacocytes and other cells. A few species can contract their whole bodies, and many can close their oscula and ostia. Juveniles drift ...
The giant volcano sea sponge (Anoxycalyx joubini) is estimated to live between 6 thousand to up to 40 thousand years, and grow up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) in diameter and 1.95 meters (6.5 feet) high. [105] They survive by filtering sea water, and with a tube shape, the largest are big enough a person can swim inside. [105]
