Short description Morphology
Transparent brown, very thin tissue on coral rubble up to several meters in diameter. Smooth surface with small and conspicuous oscules 0.4 - 1.34 cm in diameter. Color light to dark brown with yellowish, reddish or greenish tinges (Ref. 415).
Common on shallow, wave exposed reef habitats at low 1 to 6 m deep or mid-depths 15 to 20 m especially on Acropora palmata dead colonies (Refs. 415, 124745). Also found dwelling on live corals either by direct contact (i.e., Montastraea faveolata, Diploria strigosa) or from substratum of branching or foliose species (i.e., Diploria strigosa) that settled on dead A. Palmata branches (Ref. 124745).
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.
