    Even in "snowball Earth", there was tectonic activity, volcanoes, and ocean currents.
    There must have been areas where these effects combined to create open water. Also, many areas where the ice was broken up and/or thin. We know from current sea ice, that sea ice actually a wonderful place for bacteria and plankton to thrive.

    Sponges are absolutely kill-able. Freshwater sponges form gemmules, but very few marine sponges do! Also, trawling activity can certainly kill a sponge - high sediment concentrations can also cause their filters to become blocked. Sponges can sneeze and cough out some sediment, but human activity can cause irreparable damage to sponges.

      It's possible I suppose, but it would probably not be as easy as you'd think it'd be. Jut getting rid of the ones on the seafloor, river bottom, lake bed, etc. and the ones in aquariums would probably not be enough because those are just the adults. Their asexually reproduced offspring, the gemmule, are apparently even tougher. No oxygen, 5 times the radiation that'd kill a human, drying out for months at a time. We'd be more likely to kill ourselves off trying to kill them. You'd have to pull some Thanos stunt.

    They may not be planning to send them into black holes, but sponges are considered among the various life forms that could be sent to other planets to terraform them to create conditions we or other forms of life could survive in. They could survive on planets that would kill most other creatures.

      @Los Fromla my point is they survive compression, radiation is a separate issue and yes, layering. Do you think a spacesuit is made out of just one material? The internal structures of sponges exhibit something called a Clausen profile, a way of shaping a column for maximum resistance to buckling, a type of mechanical failure.
