| This Sanderling is probing a Red Beard Sponge (Clathria prolifera; formerly, Microciona prolifera) for food at Grandview Nature Preserve. The thick, intertwining branches provide an important habitat for shrimp, crabs, worms, and other small marine creatures. The sponge is an animal, not a plant, and is the most abundant sponge in the mid- and lower Chesapeake Bay. Photo courtesy of Cindy Hamilton |
