The Yellow Tube Sponge is found in a wide range of depths in tropical seas such as in the Caribbean, Florida, and the Gulf of Mexico. They are often found in areas with strong currents because the currents help them move water into their feeding canal. Their color ranges from yellow to golden to orange. The Yellow Tube Sponge can reach up to 50 centimeters in height. They grow in clusters of roughly 20 columns. They are made up of cells that build a wall. This wall is constructed into a fairly wide tube with thin walls.
Sponges do not have a real circulatory system. They have flagellated cells on the surface of their bodies. These cells create a water current through the many pores in their bodies. They rely on keeping up this current in order to keep the water flowing through their bodies so that they can obtain food and oxygen and to remove waste.
