Barrel sponges get their color primarily from the presence of symbiotic cyanobacteria and other pigments within their tissues. Being near other marine life, such as corals and mangrove roots, makes these fascinating diverse seascapes appear. Instead, their color is influenced by the type and concentration of these symbiotic organisms and pigments. Barrel sponges coexist with other marine species in a mutualistic relationship where they filter feed on plankton and organic particles, maintaining water clarity and quality, which benefits the surrounding ecosystem.
