Some ideas to improve Spongivore

- Describe what a sponge is, how it works in the environment and its role in the food chain (more biological aspect) - Describe how predation affects the distribution of species and what predators prey on it. - If any predation caused any species of sponge to become extinct. - Any defence mechanisms sponges have against spongivory - Photos of sponges and predators — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leahpritchett (talk • contribs) 17:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
