#FunFact: 🧽Most of the time, we think of sponges as the rectangular cleaning tool next to our sink, but did you know that sea sponges are actually animals? Most sponges are sessile, meaning that they can’t move. In order to eat, they must filter feed. Sponges have specialized cells that push water through their small pores to filter out plankton and other tiny organisms.🪸Learn more about sponges and other marine creatures on our Coral Reef Education Portal: https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/education/portal/ ...
