Diagnosis
Flabellate, pyriform, massive, or pedunculate sponges, with apical or marginal oscules. The surface armour is thin, very fine and even, so that these sponges remain soft, elastic and compressible. The fibre skeleton comprises simple, cored primary fibres, and a dense secondary reticulum, comprising very fine, intertwined secondary fibres (Fig. 1K).
