Sponge coral

[Dave VG]

Does anyone keep branching Sponge's? If so how hard are they to keep? I know when you get them they cannot be exposed to air during the acclamation or placement in the tank. What if any are the Pro's and con's to keeping them.

TIA

Thanks Nate. Don’t think I’m ready to tackle sponges yet. It appears they are for more experienced and seasoned reefers.
