Description: Article by William Amos on sponges and their general biology, and the pistol shrimp and other creatures that live inside their chambers.
by William H. Amos, Vermont, US A variety of spicules from different species of sponge. I was diving on Tobago's Buccoo Reef when I came across an enormous loggerhead sponge. Remembering what I had learned, I flippered up to it and slammed my fist into the solid mass. (Lest anyone accuse me of destructive action and cruelty to sponges, please know that a sponge of this sort is a lot tougher than I am.)
