Super Sponge
Nicholas Penza
Introduction
“Imagine yourself swimming in a coral reef”… Suddenly you see a sea sponge lying on a rock. Soon that sponge absorbs some of the water around it. Well did you know that that's how sponges gain their nutrients in the ocean? Well if not I’ll be showing you how they move, their body structure,and where they live.
Movement
A sponges movements are very rare so youll probably never see one away from the reef. Sometimes a baby sponge will move around it’s first few minutes but as soon as it finds a nice place to settle the’ll be there for good.` Interestingly enough sometimes a sponge will hitch a ride on a crab. The crab allows this because the sponges oder hides the smell of the crab from something that wants to eat it. So as you can see sponges don't move around like you and I, infact they barely move.
Body Structure
Habitat
CLosing
From their movement, body structure, to their habitat I hope you can see what an amazing animal the sponge is. So now imagine yourself swimming in a coral reef and you see a sponge what do you think. So now I hope you can see that this majestic creature needs to remain unharmed to live and thrive.

In the Go Fish activity, for Australia week I was asked to make a fish tank with a $250 budget a twenty gallon tank and a filter. We had to choose decorations, fish, food, gravel, salt filter cartridges, and a thermometer. My fish were salt water fish and in total took up ten inches of my tank. I got a strawberry dottyback , two Nassarius snails , 2 blue damsels , and 1 carpenters Flashers warse. In the end I had 62 dollers and 52 cents I think I did really well and this was really fun.
