Short description Morfologi

Thin to thick encrusting: 0.2 - 4 cm to massive amorphous. The surface is smooth, shiny with oscules regularly distributed; 0.2 - 1 cm wide. Dark brown to walnut brown or beige, externally, and tan internally. The consistency is soft, elastic and tough (Ref. 415).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Minimum depth from Ref. 108813. Maximum thickness: 4 cm (ref. 415). Thick on mangroves and thin on coral reefs (Ref. 415). In Belize, it was found in a submarine cave near Columbus Cay (Ref. 87209).

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.
