The 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

Am daŋar ci yaram walla am daŋar (màtt walla jam)? Rab yu am daŋar (màtt walla jam) dañuy sóob seen daŋar ci màtt walla ci jam. Rab yu am daŋar ci yaram dañuy lor ku leen laal walla ku leen lekk. Bii, daŋar ci yaram la am.

It is a filter feeder. It draws water in through small pores, and cells lining its inner chambers move the water along and trap tiny food particles, mostly bacteria-sized.1

Handling it is unwise. It causes a smarting feeling and numbness of the skin. Repeated exposure can cause a more severe allergic reaction.1

1

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

2

Small gobies, a type of fish, live inside its openings and feed largely on those worms.1

3

It has been seen to 'smoke', releasing large numbers of sperm from its openings.1

4

It can grow up to 1 metre wide, although about 30 cm is more common.1

5

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
