Vibrio bacteria, named for their vibrating swimming motion, span approximately 150 known species. Most Vibrio live in brackish or salt water, either swimming free or living as pathogens or symbionts in fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and corals. Because Vibrio thrives at relatively high temperatures, outbreaks in marine animals are expected to become ever more frequent under global warming. For example, over the past few decades, Vibrio have been implicated in the 'bleaching' of subtropical and tropical corals around the world. Now, researchers from Spain and Turkey have shown that Vibrio bacteria also play a role in outbreaks of mortality of an unrelated sessile marine organism, the dark stinging sponge (Sarcotragus foetidus). The results are published in Frontiers in Microbiology. "Here we show that pathogenic Vibrio bacteria were abundant in diseased individuals of the dark stinging sponge, during a deadly outbreak first observed in late 2021 in the Aegean Sea," said Dr. Manuel Maldonado, a senior scientist at the Spanish National Research Council (CEAB-CSIC) and a co-author of the study.

Synalpheus Regalis or Sponge-Dwelling Snapping Shrimp!
On land, we are all familiar with the eusocial behaviors of bees, but did you know that there is one genus of marine creatures that exhibit these same behaviors?
Sponge-dwelling snapping shrimp (aka pistol shrimp) are, according to Nat Geo, the bees of the sea! These tiny shrimp host the inside of sea sponges and live in colonies of about 300 members. The queen will reproduce while the eggs/babies are cared for by the colony. Guard shrimp also protect the queen and the colony from predators. This altruistic behavior exhibited by these shrimp is a strange and beautiful act that is continually being studied by scientists!
