    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Sponges are for the most part safe.

    Of course as soon as I post that someone will find the exception.

    There are 1000's of different types and ID's are difficult (of course as soon as I post that someone will find the exception).

    I find the sponge in the image to be very interesting because it's actually one of the sponges that can change locations.

    If a sponge begins to over take zoanthids, you simply need to take a soft tooth brush and remove it.
