I bought this because I thought it was something I've never seen before. I have no idea what it is. It has no skeletal structure and seems alot like a sponge but has mouth's all over it(bigger mouth's in the orange part smaller in the white part) The mouth's open and close quite quickly when it catches something or is disturbed. Can someone please tell me what the heck I bought?

Yes I am pretty sure it is a variety of sponge.

It's called a tiger sponge.
I bought one about 10 years ago. And it wasn't cheap. It didn't last long. Hard to keep apparently
