Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 4.0 cm OT male/unsexed; (Ref. 415)

Short description Morphology

Encrusting: 0.3 - 4 cm thick; dull orange to yellow externally, lighter internally. Surface visually smooth in thin specimens, rugose on thicker ones. Oscules with transparent membranes: 0.1 - 0.6 cm in diameter with thin 0.1 - 0.2 cm canals departing radially. Soft and compressible, easy to tear (Ref. 415).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Maximum body thickness: 4 cm (Ref. 415). Common on reef's cryptic habitats, growing as thin crusts; rare on mangrove roots, where it grows thick (Ref. 415).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | 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.
