Giant Barrel Sponge (Xestospongia testudinaria) is a giant species of sponge found in the Indo-Pacific coral reefs. It commonly occurs at depths ranging from over 10 meters to 120 meters and can grow up to a diameter of 1.8 meters. The sponge typically exhibits a brownish-red to brownish-gray coloration, with a hard or stony texture. Due to its impressive size and estimated lifespan of hundreds to possibly thousands of years, the giant barrel sponge has earned the nickname "redwood of the reef." It displays a variable form, often appearing as a large, firm, barrel-shaped structure with a cone-shaped cavity at the top called the osculum. These sponges make beautiful decorative pieces. The specimen in question originates from Luzon, Philippines.

Vermetus is a genus of marine gastropod mollusks in the family Vermetidae, commonly known as worm snails or worm shells. Unlike typical snails, these mollusks grow in irregular, tube-like shells that often resemble tiny coral or worm casts.

This genus has an ancient lineage, with fossil records dating from the Jurassic to the Quaternary period—spanning over 160 million years. Vermetus snails live in colonies, each individual inhabiting its own calcareous tube. When alive, the tube houses a soft-bodied worm-like snail, giving the colony its distinctive appearance.

This remarkable specimen, sourced from the northern coast of Tulear, Madagascar, is the first of its kind in our collection. Its intricate, organic structure makes it a fascinating and rare decorative object — both scientifically interesting and visually striking.

Known for its exfoliating effect, Spongia Anclotea is a marine animal from Florida, which filters the water through the cavities of its body, made of resistant and flexible fibers called spongin, with a dense structure. It is found in coral reefs where it lives mixed with gorgonians and corals between 2 and 50 meters deep. These organisms are fixed when adults, but first, their larvae let themselves be carried by the currents to facilitate dissemination. Their interior is populated by several small species like shrimps.

When dry, they can be placed in any decoration bringing a special and curious touch due to its peculiarities, natural color and shape!

Bryozoa (also known as Polyzoa, Ectoprocta, or commonly "moss animals") are a phylum of simple aquatic invertebrates, mostly found living in sedentary colonies. Each organism, called a zooid, is about 0.5 mm long and uses a crown of tentacles called a lophophore for filter feeding. These colonies, which take various forms such as fans, bushes, or sheets, thrive mainly in tropical waters, though some species exist in polar regions or deep oceanic trenches.

This collection showcases four different species of Bryozoa, collected by a renowned Italian diver from depths of 40-50 meters off the Capo Vado coast, Savona, Italy. It highlights the beauty and diversity of these fascinating organisms, with delicate structures preserved in a striking display.

The Crown-of-Thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) is a large and striking starfish known for its unique feeding habits and its role in coral reef ecosystems. It preys on hard, stony coral polyps and derives its name from the venomous, thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface, resembling the biblical crown of thorns. As one of the largest starfish species in the world, it boasts a wide Indo-Pacific distribution. While it is most commonly found around Australia, it also inhabits tropical and subtropical waters, from the Red Sea and the East African coast across the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, reaching as far as the west coast of Central America. Wherever coral reefs or hard coral communities thrive, this species can often be found.

The adult Crown-of-Thorns is a corallivorous predator, primarily feeding on reef coral polyps, encrusting sessile invertebrates, and even dead organic material. It uses its numerous tube feet, located in distinct ambulacral grooves on its underside, to climb over coral colonies. With its flexible body, it closely conforms to the coral's surface, including the intricate structures of branching corals. To feed, it extrudes its stomach through its mouth, spreading it over the coral's surface to a diameter matching its own. The stomach secretes digestive enzymes that break down the coral tissue, allowing the starfish to absorb the liquefied nutrients. Remarkably, a single Crown-of-Thorns starfish can consume up to six square meters of living coral reef in a year.
