The skeleton of the sponge is composed of tiny needle-like splinters called spicules, a mesh of protein called spongin, or a combination of both. Many sponges can only be identified by microscopic examination of the skeleton, which makes certain identification from photographs difficult.he collar cells have a sticky, funnel shaped collar and a hairlike whip, called a flagellum. The collar cells serve two purposes. First, they beat their flagella back and forth to force water through the sponge. The water brings in nutrients and oxygen, while it carries out waste and carbon dioxide.
Sponges are animals of the phylum Porifera (/pÉËrÉªfÉrÉ/ ; meaning pore bearer). They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells.ponge biodiversity and morphotypes at the lip of a wall site in 60 feet of water. Included are the yellow tube sponge, Aplysina fistularis, the purple vase sponge, Niphates digitalis, the red encrusting sponge, Spiratrella coccinea, and the gray rope sponge, Callyspongia sp.
