Default Where can you buy these?

Where can you buy pipe organ or stove pipe sponges?

I love them but have never seen them for sale anywhere throughout my travels. Is this a special order item because it is NOT covered by any CITES convention that I can find.

Thanks in advance.

for good reasons, they are nearly impossible to keep alive in an aquarium.

buy them, and watch them die...not fun.

I buy the artificial versions.

I checked J & L and they don't have the ones that I am referring to.

I'm not sure if sponges can properly be kept in captivity.

However; I saw a beautiful pipe organ at J&L on Sunday. I've been keeping one in my nano and it's a show stopper! The one they have is on a rock, top tank on the right of the coral price list, mid-tank, bottom rack - $40 I think.

I was going to buy it thinking it was something else.
