Short description Morfologi

Encrusting, to massive amorphous, ramose (Ref. 415), lobate or finger-like (Ref. 85482). Grayish, bright blue externally, light blue to tan internally. Sharp, conulose surface: 0.1 cm high; 0.2 - 0.3 cm apart (Ref. 415). Oscules: few, round, flush or with a slightly raised transparent membrane; scattered or on tops of lobes 0.5 to 1 cm wide. Meshwork of spongin fibers densely filled with foreign materials, e.g., sand grains and spicule fragments. Softly spongy, very compressible, limp, weak, and easily torn (Ref. 85482).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Maximum depth from Ref. 108813. Common on mangrove roots (Ref. 415), shallow reefs, bays, lagoons, and seagrass beds on hard bottoms (Ref. 85482).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the class Demospongiae are hermaphroditic. Life cycle: The zygote develops into parenchymella larva (free-swimming) before settling down on a substrate where it grows into a young sponge.
