The outside is very bumpy but the inside is very smooth. The sponge reproduces both sexually and asexually.

Its lifespan can range from a few months to 20 years. The maximum size is 18 inches tall. It also lives no more then 18 meters below sea level. It is used by people for decoration and is being studied to be used for medicine. Animals can use it for protection.
