Never Trust This Flower of the Deep… It’s a Predator

Deep sea carnivorous sponges (Chondrocladia) are some of the most mysterious predators of the ocean. Unlike normal sponges, they don’t filter water — they trap and dissolve prey with hooked spicules. These “flowers of death” have no mouths, no stomachs, and yet they are hunters that recycle life in the abyss. Without them, the seafloor would be lifeless.
