Sponge Problem

[saltwaterdave]

I have or had a very beautiful lime green sponge that I have had for over a year.It grew from about the size of a dime to about half the size of a basball and was VERY brightly colored.Just in the last few days it has been turning a brownish color and appears to be falling apart,yet I some of it still has it color.Any ideas?

Here is a pic of my blue sponges. They have grown alot since I got them. They are encrusting type. Love blue ones! Johnny

Thanks for the link it may have been trying to reproduce.I have seen some smaller parts under some other rocks.I needto go back and read that article again On a rather cool note I have 2 tulip Anemones (didI spell that right?) that split last night now Ii have 4 But they in a rock and you can't really see them real well,anyone know how to move them without doing any harm to them?
I hope they don't become a pest,they have some great colors to them.

Got a pic of the tulip anenome? Don't believe I have heard of them unless they go by another name! Some hobbyist put a PH on them with high current and may make them loosen their hold on the rock. Not much help! Johnny

This is a pic of them,but it is not my pic,it is from the guy I got them from.I am saving for a camera

[saltwaterdave]

Mine have a brighter green than his pic shows,actually they are very beautiful.He told me if I fed them they would split rather quickly as long as you had good water for them.They only get as big as a quarter according to him.I might try and sell a few of them if they continue to grow.

Those are very beautiful! Don't know much about them! Do they multiply fast like aiptasia and do they have a bad sting! Interesting! Johnny

[saltwaterdave]

I don't know about the sting.But I have had mine about a month now and have gotten them to split.But I feed them directly to get them to split. If you are really intrested maybe we could do a trade? The pic does'nt really do them any justice....they are very beautiful...lots of color to them.He shipped them to me w=regular ground shipping along with 5lbs of live sand,and they made it fine along with a yuma.They took 3 days to get to me.Maybe we could do a thermos trade? Or it might be getting a little cold for that.Where are you at?
