Venus flower basket shrimp. Aspergillum (class hexactinellida, glass sponges).the name venus’s flower basket derives from the sponges’ delicate, white, latticelike skeletons made of silica. When the venus flower basket is small, tiny shrimp swim in and out of it. The venus' flower basket is a sponge found at depths of around 100 to 1,000 metres (330 to 3,300 feet) on the ocean floor near japan and the philippines.
The shrimp entered the sponge when they were small, and are now too large to ever leave, but. One particular type of glass sponge, famously called the venus’ flower basket (euplectella spp.), is known to house two small shrimps (a male and a female) inside its glass skeleton. The small shrimp grow and become too large to leave the silicon cavity of the.
These sponges have symbiotic relationships with small shrimp who live inside the sponge, which eventually grow too large to leave it. The venus's flower basket, or euplectella aspergillum is a hexactinellid sponge in the phylum porifera inhabiting the deep ocean. Its body is composed of silica and looks like a sculpture or, perhaps, a vase made of glassy mesh.
Aspergillum has a tuft of elongated spicules that attaches it to the ocean bottom (buchsbaum and pearse, 1987; Venus flower baskets are actually glass sponges with an amazing delicate lace appearance. The most famous glass sponge is a species of euplectella, known as the “venus flower basket,” which builds its skeleton in a way that entraps a certain species of crustacean inside for life.

They're found in very deep water. The venus' flower basket, or euplectella aspergillum is a hexactinellid sponge in the phylum porifera inhabiting the deep ocean. As soon as the venus flower basket is small, small shrimp go swimming in and out of this.
