Myxillina
Poecilosclerida is an order of the demosponge class. It is the most speciose demosponge order with over 2200 species (World Porifera Database). It contains about 25 recognised families. They are characterised by having chelae microscleres, that is, the minute spicules scattered through the tissues, usually in the 10-60 μm range, have a shovel-like structure on the end. Most of the families are viviparous with parenchymella larvae that are uniformly ciliated The cilium, plural cilia (), is a membrane-bound organelle found on most types of eukaryotic cell, and certain microorganisms known as ciliates. Cilia are absent in bacteria and archaea. The cilium has the shape of a slender threadlike projecti .... Families As of 2018, the following families are recognized: References {{demosponge-stub ...

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 ...
