CCDillon Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hey everyone, I got gifted a softball sized yellow ball sponge about a week ago and am looking for anyone that has tips on care. I keep it in my fish-less 10 gallon macro-algae setup currently. I am broadcast feeding preserved phytoplankton daily. Sponge seems happy, didn't let it touch air and it seems to be extending the bottom of itself to better secure it's place in the tank. Holes in the sponge frequently open up more, especially after feeding. I also have it in a medium flow spot that is under a ledge of live rock. Am I generally doing everything correctly? I'd hate to mess up with this unique creature. Do I need to do frequent water changes when dosing? This is a simple setup that I rely on water changes and macro for filtration. Here's some pics: Quote Link to comment
A Little Blue Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Looks happy. Flow is mostly irrelevant from my experience. Low light is a general direction as far as sponges are concern. Phyto is fine. Sponges in general do best in established aquariums. 1 Quote Link to comment

Started with rock and sand from my mixed reef about 4-5 months ago. Quote Link to comment
