The sponge oyster, Cryptostrea permollis, is a species of bivalve mollusc in the family Ostreidae. It can be found along the Atlantic Coast of North America, ranging from North Carolina to the West Indies.[1]I am totally awesome, just like these sponges. Just so you know, my name is Griffon Fathom. More about me? I am a sponge oyster. (whatever that is)
