Glass sponges (Hexactinellida) are mainly found in the deep sea. The glass sponge Vazella pourtalesi (colloquially "Russian hat") is found in large quantities on the continental shelf off Canada: Photo: Ellen Kenchington, DFO. The Aquatic Symbiosis project will be the first to produce genomes of glass sponges. Its microbial symbionts, on the other hand, are already well researched (Bayer, Busch et al., mSystems 2020).
