Both exterior and interior color varies from white to gray, with some having a pinkish tinge. Soft and compressible consistency. Compound apical oscules present on each tube with a white membrane. Spicules absent, instead with algal filaments embedded in spongin (Ref. 85482). Often attached to gorgonians (Ref. 81728).
