Aplysina Archeri
''Aplysina archeri'', also known as a stove-pipe sponge because of its shape, is a species of tube sponge that has long tube-like structures of cylindrical shape. Although they can grow in a single tube, they often grow in large groups of up to 22 tubes. A single tube can grow up to high and thick. These sponges mostly live in the Western Atlantic Ocean: the Caribbean, The Bahamas, Florida, and Bonaire. Like most sponges, they are filter feeders; they eat food such as plankton or suspended detritus as it passes them. Very little is known about their behavioral patterns except for their feeding ecology and reproductive biology. Tubes occur in varying colors including lavender, pink, gray, and brown. They reproduce both by asexual and sexual reproduction. These sponges take hundreds of years to grow and never stop growing until they die. Snails are among their natural predators. The population density of these sponges is going down because of oil spill An oil spill is the re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aplysina Insularis
''Aplysina insularis'', commonly known as the yellow-green candle sponge or yellow candle sponge, is a species of sea sponge found on reefs in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Description ''Aplysina insularis'' is a large sponge and consists of one or more cylindrical tubes united at the base. Each one narrows at the apex into a large osculum and this may be surrounded by small, finger-like projections. Slender tendrils and larger rope-like projections may also occur, and in areas with high levels of sedimentation, these may exceed the tubes in size. This sponge can grow to a length of with a tube diameter of and the texture is soft yet tough. The outer surface is either smooth or covered with fine conical projections. There are no silicaceous spicules in the wall but it is strengthened with a network of fibres forming a hexagonal or circular mesh pattern. The colour is yellowish brown and in deeper water changes to an intense greenish yellow because the surface layers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aplysina Fistularis
''Aplysina fistularis'', also known as the yellow tube sponge, is a species of sea sponge in the order Verongiida. ''Aplysina fistularis'' is a golden or orange-brown color with a conulose surface. The animal is abundant in the Caribbean, where it is commonly found in reefs of open water areas. This sponge was first described by the Prussian zoologist Peter Simon Pallas in 1766. Description ''Aplysina fistularis'' consists of one or more yellow tube-like structures that arise from a closed base and are Sessility (motility), sessile. The sponge has wide Osculum, oscula and thin walls with ridged surfaces. Each tube is rarely over in clear water but can reach in turbid-zone reefs. Unlike the related species ''Aplysina insularis'', ''A. fistularis'' does not develop rope-like projections around its tubes, although it may show some branching tendrils. ''A. fistularis'' does not have a silicate skeletal structure like most sponges, and was used as a Sponge (tool), bath sponge before ...
