Quick Stats

Description

The Yellow Finger Sponge is a unique and attractive addition to advanced marine aquariums, recognized for its striking yellow color and branching, finger-like structure. This sponge brings an exotic touch to reef tanks, providing a natural and realistic environment. However, due to its specific care requirements, it is best suited for experienced aquarists.

As a filter feeder, the Yellow Finger Sponge relies on fine particulate matter, including plankton and dissolved organic materials, for sustenance. It does not respond to typical aquarium foods and instead filters nutrients from the water, making it essential to maintain high-quality water with low nutrient levels. This sponge is sensitive to changes in water parameters, and exposure to air can cause irreparable damage.

Peaceful by nature, the Yellow Finger Sponge is reef compatible and will not harm other organisms. It should be placed in an area with low to moderate water flow, allowing it to efficiently filter feed without stress. Due to its challenging care requirements, a mature, stable aquarium with pristine water conditions is necessary to support the long-term health of this delicate species.
