Sponge Barcoding Database: Specimen List

Growth form	Cushion-shaped to sub-spherical cormus of tightly anastomosed tubes with one to several oscula at the end of water-collecting tubes. The tubes have a diameter of 210-220 ?m. The specimen was fragmented during collection and contains oocytes.
Color alive	yellow
Color in EtOH	pale brown
Oscules	Few
Choanosomal skeleton	The skeleton consists of tetractines and triactines, to which trichoxea-like diactines might be added. Triactines and the basal system of tetractines are lying tangentially within the tube wall in few layers. The apical actines of the tetractines protrude into the lumen of the tube. The diactines are arranged perpendicular to the tube walls with a broader tip in the sponge wall, and a trichoxea-like extension pointing outwards. They occur in the walls of external tubes and less frequently in the walls of internal tubes.
Ectosomal skeleton	Not differentiated
Megascleres	Triactines: Equiradiate, equiangular. They have conical actines with blunt tips: 83 - 101.9 - 116 ?m x 11 - 13.1 - 16 ?m (n=20).
