Pumping Sea Sponge

Caption:

A sea sponge extracts water. Though often mistaken for plants, sea sponges are in fact dynamic, industrious animals that pump thousands of liters of water through their bodies in a single day.

This image was taken as part of a project supported by National Science Foundation grant ESI 98-14957.
