All sponges are great filter feeder. Tree sponges (Ptilocaulis sp.) are not common sponges. They are safe, non aggressive and peaceful sponges that can be added to a reef aquarium unlike the other sponges that can kill/damage corals in the tank.

@Jeremy Brito If it is a black sponge watch it. Some black sponges were once white or a color sponge that has died and turned black. The dead sponge usually doesn't cause problems in the tank. If no noticeable growth, it's an okay black sponge. Some black sponges are invasive species that could take over if you let it do it own thing.
