Welcome to the Fascinating World of Sea Sponges and the Amazing Cryptotethya crypta.
This is a website dedicated to the wonderful and always
exciting sponges! Spo
nges are a very diverse and
interesting group in the animal kingdom. Primarily
aquatic, these organism are known for their suspension feeding
techniques and diverse and unique cellular structures.
The species, Cryptotethya crypta (also known to be referred
to as: Cryptotheca crypta, Cryptotethia crypta, and
Tectitethya
crypta), will be the main focus of this site along with some of
its very important medicinal uses. I hope that my page is
not only informative but helps give a broader knowledge of these
amazing animals.
