Sponges are filter feeders. In the ocean, they can filter hundreds of gallons of water through their bodies every day and they need feed constantly with a moderate to high flow to survive for any length of time in the home aquarium.

It is critical not to expose your sponge to the air as their pores may become air-filled, causing them to starve and deteriorate.
