Notably, they observed that many of the individual sponges from the Geodia parva, Geodia hentscheli and Stelletta rhaphidophora species were living on a thick mat of spicules, a spike-like substance that helps a sponge support its body and ward off potential predators. In a recent study published by the journal "Cell Biology," scientists describe finding a group of demosponges - the most diverse class in the phylum known as Porifera - in the Arctic Sea.
New research may change what we know about them.
Far from being yellow, rectangular and hyperactive, sponges come in all shapes, sizes and colors they are believed to lack even SpongeBob's child-like intelligence and, far from being hyperactive, most of them are not known to move at all.Īt least, they weren't known to move at all. Viewers of "SpongeBob Squarepants" have been woefully misinformed about the reality of being a sponges.
