👉 Luteochaeta, also known as sponges, are marine invertebrates that inhabit a variety of environments, including wetlands and estuaries. They have an internal shell made up of multiple layers and can be found on surfaces such as rocks, seashells, or even the underside of sea urchins. Luteochaetes are known for their unique ability to form large colonies in colonies called "sponges," which are often referred to as "mushrooms"
