Diagnosis
Varying greatly, from massive to ramose, lamellate, foliaceous to infundibuliform, tubular or lobate, repent or erect growth forms. Ectosomal skeleton a tangential network formed by secondary and sometimes finer tertiary fibres (triple mesh ectosomal layer) or less ramified and with regular size of mesh (single mesh ectosomal layer). Choanosomal skeleton a well-developed network of primary longitudinal fibres, fasciculated or non-fasciculated, spongin sheath always present. Primary fibres ramified to form secondary and tertiary fine fibres and tertiary choanosomal network always present; or non-ramified, parallel and connected by short, parallel, non-ramified, secondary fibres, there may be peripheral condensation of the choanosomal skeleton.
