    Scientific name is Trikentrion flabelliforme or commonly named White Line Sponge.They come from australia and are total filter feeders,should be left in the ocean.You have to be dedicated to making sure it gets the right food,and often enough.I've seen them for sale in canada for about a year now.

    One of the guys in my local reef club has one and it is growing like a weed, probably overfeeds his tank though. I was tempted to grab his last batch of frags but my tank was way too young
