Inflatella
''Infantella'' is a genus of demosponges in the family Coelospharidae. The species in this genus differ from those in other genera through having a single kind of diactinal megascleres (single axis spicules with similar ends) and no mircoscleres.

Inflatella Belli
''Inflatella belli'', or the gooseberry sponge, is a species of demosponge that appears to be restricted to the southern hemisphere, where it is widespread. It occurs from the coast of Namibia and the Indo-pacific, down to the Subantarctic and Antarctic regions.Uriz, María Jesús (1988). Deep-water sponges from the continental shelf and slope of Namibia (south-west Africa). Classes Hexactinellida and Demospongiae'' CSIC-Instituto de Ciencias del Mar (ICM) Description The gooseberry sponge is a green to yellow-brown species which grows in a semi-spherical to ovoid form. The outside is tough and leathery and the inside soft and pulpy. The inner layer is darker than the outer layers. The surface is covered with long trumpet-shaped protrusions. It may grow to be wide. Spicules The oxeas (spicules pointed at both ends) are straight or slightly curved. One end is sharply pointed and the other more rounded. Skeleton The spicules grow together to from several overlapping lay ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coelosphaeridae
Coelosphaeridae is a family of sponges belonging to the order Poecilosclerida. Species are found across the globe. Description Originally it was believed that this family was restricted to hollow, bladder-like, spherical, club-shaped, tubular, and cushion-shaped growth forms. Other forms, however, were found to have similar spiculation so have since been included, while other genera such as Coelocarteria were removed due to their differing spiculation. This family now contains a diverse array of forms, including fistular (hollow), branching, massive and encrusting sponges. The surface is typically smooth in fistular forms. It is usually irregularly pitted in non-fistular forms, but areolated (colour ringed) pore-fields are absent. The skeletal architecture is similar to that of the myxillid sponges. Both groups are made of a network of tracts that form an isodictyal skeleton. The usual brushes of tomotes assume a partially tangential position. In the bladder-like fistular for ...

Demosponge
Demosponges (Demospongiae) are the most diverse class in the phylum Porifera. They include 76.2% of all species of sponges with nearly 8,800 species worldwide (World Porifera Database). They are sponges with a soft body that covers a hard, often massive skeleton made of calcium carbonate, either aragonite or calcite. They are predominantly leuconoid in structure. Their "skeletons" are made of spicules consisting of fibers of the protein spongin, the mineral silica, or both. Where spicules of silica are present, they have a different shape from those in the otherwise similar glass sponges. Some species, in particular from the Antarctic, obtain the silica for spicule building from the ingestion of siliceous diatoms. The many diverse orders in this class include all of the large sponges. Most are marine dwellers, but one order ( Spongillida) live in freshwater environments. Some species are brightly colored, with great variety in body shape; the largest species are ove ...

Sponge Spicule
Spicules are structural elements found in most sponges. The meshing of many spicules serves as the sponge's skeleton and thus it provides structural support and potentially defense against predators. Sponge spicules are made of calcium carbonate or silica. Large spicules visible to the naked eye are referred to as megascleres, while smaller, microscopic ones are termed microscleres. The composition, size, and shape of spicules are major characters in sponge systematics and taxonomy. Overview Sponges are a species-rich clade of the earliest-diverging (most basal) animals. They are distributed globally, with diverse ecologies and functions, and a record spanning at least the entire Phanerozoic. Most sponges produce skeletons formed by spicules, structural elements that develop in a wide variety of sizes and three dimensional shapes. Among the four sub-clades of Porifera, three (Demospongiae, Hexactinellida, and Homoscleromorpha) produce skeletons of amorphous silica and on ...
