Compiler and date details
2010 - John N.A. Hooper, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia; Felix Wiedenmayer (1994), Naturhistorisches Museum Basel, Basel, Switzerland; updated by John N.A. Hooper (1999)
Diagnosis
Demospongiae, encrusting to massive, with a marked cortex enriched with fibrillar collagen, with inhalant apertures localised in pore-sieves or cribriporal chones and a skeleton often absent, composed when present of nodular spongin fibres or aster microscleres only (never megascleres). Collagen always very abundant. Oviparous.
