Giant barrel sponge
Defined wet mass: 80 kg; defined specimen; range 30 kg–180 kg.
A defined 1.2 m high giant barrel sponge (Xestospongia muta) with an 80 kg wet mass. Colonies grow in irregular barrel forms; height excludes the reef substrate and the central cavity is open.
The marked defined wet mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

How to read the visual
The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.
- We use 80 kg for the wet mass of a giant barrel sponge; the recorded range is 30 kg–180 kg.
- The wet mass of a giant barrel sponge: This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
Mass is distinct from weight: an object’s mass stays the same as gravity changes.
