Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Massive amorphous to cake shaped. Surface with round low elevations. Large oscules: 0.8 - 1.5 cm wide and small oscules; 0.1 - 0.2cm wide aggregated. Compressible but dense in consistency (Ref. 415). May be roughly globular. Surface is smooth and non-porous, with clusters of pore sieves. External and internal color: black, charcoal or dark gray. External often covered with pale sediment and algal turf (Ref. 85482).
Common on hard, inshore, shallow bottoms and on seagrass beds; less common on shallow reefs. Internal canal system supports an abundance and diverse invertebrate fauna. Known from depths between 0.5 to about 18 m (Ref. 85482).
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.
