Aussie Spider Sponge

My LFS has one for sale, and I can't much information about them. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Peaceful filter feeder that makes a great addition to any reef aquarium. Like any other sponge it requires minimal lighting and swift current to survive. It must never be exposed to the air! This is an anusual sponge that forms a sybiotic relationship with a colony polyp not unlike zoanthus

May want to post in the NPS subforum. As far as I've read, they don't live long (4-6 months) but the situation is always changing with NPS. They will have to be fed.

yes must be feed or will die but live many years in a stable yet somewhat dirty reef
