Blue Sponge
 
Anyone try to keep any blue sponges with success?

I had a large section of my tank with some beautiful blue sponge. A "malfunction" of my RO unit allowed some chlorine into the tank and that was the end of that.


Malfunction meaning dumb owner forgot to change filter :redface:

My starfish feeds on it so I am not sure if it will come back. It actually sucked all the blue colour out of it.

one of the easier sponges to keep compared to a lot of the other ones available

I have some blue sponge in my tank. I wasn't trying to keep it, it just appeared on my rock.

Do NOT let any sponge come in contact with air.

Do keep sponges in a high flow.

Sponges don't like too much light (they get algae growing on them)

Other then that they are silly easy to keep..
