New blue sponge

I have one as well. I love it.

When it hitched in:

Today, about 4 months later, wish it grew a bit faster

Think it's the same kind as yours?
 
i have 3 peices on one rock but seems like one is dying and the others have not grown at all i have 4 T5 HOs 2 are blue and 2 are 10,000k any ideas?
 
Mine started growing like crazy and actuall sprouting up all over when I started adding brightwell amino acids. You might try that.
 
I feed my sponges 10 times a day with automatic feeders and got a skimmer rated for about 20 times my tank to keep my water quality in check with out having to do water changes every day. Blue sponges do need light but not as much as most corals.


coral snow is a good one to go with for those guys. OH and blast the crud out of the tank with flow to keep them fed and happy.
 
very nice piece, its really hit or miss with sponges. if you touch them to hard or move them to rough they will eventually die.
 
That particular sponge is photosynthetic. You can not apply lessons from that one to others. On the scale of capability the blue one is the guppy of the sponge world!
 
Jeez guy get a clue before you just go out and purchase a LIVING ANIMAL on a whim based off its looks & coloration ... Ruins our hobby !

... To Cody's defense.. He was asking what it was.... He didn't purchase the sponge.. Whats wrong with him inquring?

Aside from that... I think that sponge is absolutely beautiful!! Makes me want to find & add one into the seahorse tank!!
