Thin encrusting: 0.1 - 0.5 cm bright red sponge. Internally the color grades from red to brown or orange. Smooth surface, leathery to the touch. Small oscules: 0.05 - 0.2 cm in diameter often on small mounds, with star shaped transparent canals departing from the oscula (Ref. 415).
Minimum depth from Ref. 108813. Rare species in between coral rubble, usually cryptic; 1 to 15 m deep (Ref. 415). Also occurs in mangrove ponds (Ref. 86789). In Belize, it was found in a submarine cave near Columbus Cay (Ref. 87209).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | 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.
