Advice On Blue Sponges

[crazycatfish]

I'm interested in getting a blue sponge but I was just wondering if blue sponges required any special treatment and if there was a minimum sized tank they could be kept in. Any info would be really helpful.

what specific species?

I've been searching the internet trying to find what species and the closest picture i could find was of a Haliclona blue sponge. Does that help?

As far as i know they are a photosynthetic species so feeding shouldn't be so much of a problem.

That said they still require pristine water condtions, high flow and good lighting to survive, also be aware that when they die the realese toxins that can wipeout tanks.
