Crazy how the sponges start singing heavenly songs as soon as they start pumping the color out

[@BlueWorldTV]

They are quite musical!

[@feliscatusdaisannobakudan1597]

[@undercoverslut7677]

Well spongebob himself likes to sing

[@itsez1129]

If I would inhale a dye like that I would be singing like that too

I never knew they were that active with their filtering great video

“I’m a sponge, I’ll just filter feed.”

[@limiv5272]

I recently blew my BF's mind when, while talking about kitchen cleaning supplies, I told him that sponges were originally made from a marine creature with that same name. I'm so glad I found this video showing what sponges do for a living

[@NOMADdaf]

He was very poorly educated if that was news ti him.

[@Jackaljkljkl]

@@NOMADdaf Really? You came to that definite conclusion, due to him not knowing a single isolated fact?

[@katla_phc]

and the interesting thing is that marine sponges are still harvested for cosmetic and toiletry uses!

[@chirone_]

​@@NOMADdaf He's not the dumb one here, actually, YOU are very poorly educated if, like Jack said, you're gonna instantly come to the definite conclusion that her boyfriend was 'very poorly educated' because he doesn't know that a sea animal has the same name as a synthetic material used for cleaning.

[@dailylineofmemes6301]

Ever heard of that one yellow guy makin some Sandwiches?

[@bullsquid42]

Amazing and mystical creatures. They're also great to clean chalkboards.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Nah, chalkboard erasers made of felt work way better!

[@undercoverslut7677]

Sponges aren’t used for chalk erasers

[@randomnstoned966]

What a waste of life that would be.

[@fireroy5796]

Can we use sea sponges to filter some particles and bacteria from the water? Like use live sponges as water filters.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Theoretically. But there has to be enough nutrition to keep them alive.

[@okipullup3367]

Probably going to die from all the toxic in sewer water, it possible though

[@harumochizuki]

Perhaps if some sponges were brought in temporarily to cleanse bacteria from bodies of water where the latter doesn’t belong, be it a source for human consumption or one where an invasive bacteria has taken hold?

[@jameshubert6103]

Spongebob being a filter feeder as usual

[@ireneyoung4468]

I learned this filter feeding fact from Spongebob episode 'I Had an Accident'

[@judesjewels7831]

I noticed (about halfway through) that after you had released the dye, the sponges were pumping it out through their osculum. But not all were. To the left, there's a large tube sponge with no dye coming out. So my questions are 1) Are the cluster of tubes a single organism or a number that have attached at the same place? 2) Are the non-pumping tubes 'resting' or are they dead but still attached? 3) If they're dead individual sponges (that didn't bud off), will their exoskeleton break down over time or will something like a sea turtle eat it?

[@chio5185]

You mean the long sponge on the bottom left at 0:49? If so, that sponge really looks like it's dead and hasn't fallen off the rock.

[@FlameHazeFH]

They look so mystical when the dye is coming out

[@viniciuspaiva3578]

“Eu sou uma esponja, eu filtro o alimento!”

[@iszolde154]

Watching this in 2020 and am very impressed! Maybe sponges are a solution to get microplastics out of the ocean?

Wait for it and then we see the flouroscent green spewing out !!

sponges have flagella. so they beat flagella constantly to make water current. so small micro organisms in water will be pushed into it.

Kia Ora, I was wondering if I would be able to use this video in a school presentation that I am doing, it would be an amazing source of visualisation for kids to see that Sponges are actual animals.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Of course

[@DarlinMarleneVeVo]

goddamn, this is so beautiful!

[@superfeatherdude]

Well you did it folks you found a real life spongebob

[@annelivalkama7451]

Call me crazy but I think sea sponges are pretty 😍 and so cool! I'm glad Stephen Hillenburg chose this animal for his cartoon, wouldn't have known about sponges if that wasn't the case. I am little surprised that Plankton doesn't have a fear of SpongeBob like his of Pearl as they both eat his species In real life, Spongebob also kinda does the same thing here with water in the show symbolic of both of his design.

[@silverancient7840]

This video has truly blown my mind.

[@ekozoidmajiker6186]

I think I just recall something vague during Biology class that it's organ that acted as something who absorbs nutrients (akin to a mouth) is somewhere below its main body & not in its upper cavity.

No, I have tried. The flow is just too small to feel with your hand.
