BIRD'S NEST SPONGE
The shape of bird's nest sponges ranges from tall and narrow, like a barrel, to short and
wide, like a cake. These sponges grow to a height of about 10 inches (25 centimeters)
and a width of about 8 inches (20 centimeters). The thick, hollow body tapers to a single
sharp-edged upper opening. Short thin, hairlike silica spicules surround the opening and
stick out of the upper third of body. Longer spicules cover the lower third of the body
and anchor the sponge in soft mud. The spicules on the middle third of the body are
arranged in a pattern that looks like the interlocking twigs of a bird's nest. Bird's nest
sponges are white.
