Simulating marine sponge growth helps marine biologists analyze, measure, andpredict the effects that the marine environment has on marine sponges, and viceversa. This paper describes a way to simulate and grow geometric models of themarine sponge Crella incrustans while considering environmental factorsincluding fluid flow and nutrients. The simulation improves upon prior work bychanging the skeletal architecture of the sponge in the growth model to bettersuit the structure of Crella incrustans. The change in skeletal architectureand other simulation parameters are then evaluated qualitatively against photosof a real-life Crella incrustans sponge. The results support the hypothesisthat changing the skeletal architecture from radiate accretive to Halichondridproduces a sponge model which is closer in resemblance to Crella incrustansthan the prior work.
