Just over 200 species of marine tardigrades have been described, and most of these have been collected in sand and other sediments. However, several species are known to associate with other invertebrates such as barnacles, bryozoans, and holothurians. It is possible that many epizoic tardigrade species remain to be discovered, since surveys of tardigrades on other potential animal hosts are very rare. Sponges, with extensive cavities, constant water flow, and protective secondary compounds, are known to harbour a highly diverse epizoic community, but there are no published studies indicating that marine tardigrades are among this community, and there is only one published record of tardigrades from freshwater sponges. We collected 30 samples of marine sponges, consisting of 12 species, from the central Bahamas. We processed these for tardigrades and other meiofauna using the freshwater shock technique. One unusual non-tardigrade in our samples was Loxosomella sp., an entoproct which is a known commensal on sponges. Here we also provide the first record of marine tardigrades associated with marine sponges. However, we found only one species, Archechiniscus bahamensis, which is the most common species occurring free-living in Bahamian subtidal sand. Therefore, we conclude that marine sponges, at least in the Bahamas, do host epizoic marine tardigrades, but they may not be a unique or important host for marine tardigrades.
