My huge, 4 year old purple vase sponge has gotten a little too big for my liking (~18" in diameter) so I chopped it. I have at least 4, approximately 5-6" by 2-3" pieces for sale, they are smooth and also have vase like projections and ripples in them.
These pieces are cuts from my mother colony and therefore are not round like a vase. You can easily get them to grow into a vase however by mounting them twisted into a circle and the two ends will grow together seamlessly eventually filling out into a vase shape.
It has been in my seahorse tank for the entire 4 years and is still growing rapidly. It loves my ~4 year old compact fluorescent stock biocube bulbs and the minimal minimal flow of the seahorse tank. It is hardy and has never had any problems with any parameter swings or temperature swings. Although I have accidentally removed frags of this type of sponge from the water before with no issues I do not recommend exposing it to air for more than a few seconds just to be safe.
Remember it is photosynthetic!
$50 per piece
Shipping is available and the method will be up to the buyer. I can ship UPS 2-day (no guarantee) or UPS Overnight with guarantee if DOA and picture sent within one hour delivery. Pale color is normal and the sponge will recover, DOA means falling apart. I can calculate shipping based on your zip.
