In this edition, the Sponge Guide has become directly editable online by the managing team! We start from the 231 species morphs and 2,152 images of sponges from the Caribbean region that were included in the 3rd edition and will be progressively correcting and updating taxonomical information and adding images and species. We will continue expanding the regions we’ve visited and cataloged.. Phylum Porifera The Phylum name Porifera means “pore bearer” and is a reference to the characteristic feature of sponges – they nearly all feed by creating an inward water current and extracting bacteria and small animals from the water. The water is then expelled through large openings called oscula, The current is created by the combined beating of flagella housed in collar cells.
