Touch-me-not sponge
Daŋar ci deramDafay lekk: Ñamu géej yu ndaw-ndawAm daŋar ci yaram, du màtt walla jamThe touch-me-not sponge is a large sea sponge that grows on the seabed. It lives in shallow waters of the Western Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and the Bahamas. It is worth knowing about because touching it can irritate the skin.1

Xibaar
Tiny parasitic worms often live inside it. There may be tens of thousands in one sponge, and they can make up five percent of its weight.1
Small gobies, a type of fish, live inside its openings and feed largely on those worms.1
It has been seen to 'smoke', releasing large numbers of sperm from its openings.1
It can grow up to 1 metre wide, although about 30 cm is more common.1
Its shape changes from place to place. In the Bahamas it grows as rounded lobes, while elsewhere it can form flat crusts, concentric mounds or vase-shaped structures.1
