∙ 14y agoThere are approximately 5,000- 10,000 known species of sea sponges. Different types of sponges live in different depths of waters and adapt to the surroundings accordingly. The Tube Sponge is most common and is known for its long tubes that filter water. The Caribbean Fire Sponge has its own poison as a defense for predators. The Caribbean chicken-liver sponge is so toxic it will kill coral, allowing the sponge to grow on top of the existing coral.
