The three body types are the simple asconoid sponges, with one spongocoel and very little surface area; the syconoid sponges, which have a spongocoel surrounded by many layers of tissue and ostia; and the leuconoid body type with many spongocoels surrounded by dense ostia. Of the three, the leuconoid body plan supports the largest sponges because the very large surface area means there is a large volume of water circulating within the sponge that can support this large body.
