Info

Chondrosia reniformis Nardo, 1847

The sponge is mottled brown-violet to grey, darker on the upper parts, lighter on the sides.Marine Species Identification Portal

Has a temperature range of 50 to 65°F (10 - 18°C). This is a cold water species and rarely seen in the trade, and if so, comes in attached to rock for cool water aquariums. It would be difficult to maintain in captivity. Shown here for identification only.

Ich dachte, dass es sich bei den Schwämmen in meinem Aquarium um Petrosia handelt, bin mir aber mittlerweile ziemlich sicher, dass es Chondrosia reniformis ist. Einfach zu halten, wächst und schrumpft und wandert, wie es ihm gefällt...
