Sponge
Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera (; meaning 'pore bearer'), are a basal animal clade as a sister of the diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells. Sponges have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and that often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. Sponges do not have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes. Sponges were first to branch off the evolutionary tree from the last common ancestor of all animals, making them the sister group of all other animals. Etymology The term ''sponge'' derives from the Ancient Greek word ( 'sponge'). Overview Sponges are similar to other animals in that they are multicellular, he ...

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as the ''World List of ...

Tetractinellida
Tetractinellida is an order of sea sponges belonging to the Class Demospongiae. First described in 1876, this order received a new description in 2012 and replaced the two orders Astrophorida and Spirophorida, which then became sub-orders as Astrophorina and Spirophorina. Families ; Suborder Astrophorina Sollas, 1887 * Family Ancorinidae Schmidt, 1870 * Family Calthropellidae Lendenfeld, 1907 * Family Corallistidae Sollas, 1888 * Family Geodiidae Gray, 1867 * Family Isoraphiniidae Schrammen, 1924 * Family Macandrewiidae Schrammen, 1924 * Family Neopeltidae Sollas, 1888 * Family Pachastrellidae Carter, 1875 * Family Phymaraphiniidae Schrammen, 1924 * Family Phymatellidae Schrammen, 1910 * Family Pleromidae Sollas, 1888 * Family Theneidae Carter, 1883 * Family Theonellidae Lendenfeld, 1903 * Family Thrombidae Sollas, 1888 * Family Vulcanellidae Vulcanellidae is a family of sponges belonging to the order Tetractinellida Tetractinellida is an Order (biology), order of ...
