Looking to buy Sponges

[Weaverjay101]

I'm running an experiment on creating a sponge dominant tank. I came upon the idea of using fellow reefers as a source of sponges since there's not that many for sale commercially. If anyone has sponges growing in their tank that they would prefer to get rid of I would love to buy them. I'm specifically looking to purchase sponges that grow in the well lit areas of the tank versus cryptic sponges.

I'll attach a link to my build thread. Any information you have on keeping sponges alive, or better yet growing, would be greatly appreciated!

Sponges need silicates. So go ahead and use Brightwell SpongExcel. They also eat small food so maybe a smaller phyto blend. I am interested in sponges and tunicates too. Following along.
Here is a link to a place that sells sponges.
