Sycon Raphanus
''Sycon raphanus'' is a species of marine invertebrate, a calcareous sponge belonging to the family Sycettidae. The name derives from the Greek, "raphanus", meaning radish, and presumably refers to the sponge's shape. Sponges are composed of a jellylike mesohyl sandwiched between two layers of cells. They have a fragile skeleton composed of stiff spicules. They are filter feeders, maintaining a flow of water through their structure which passes out through large openings called oscula. Description This small purse sponge grows singly and is globular in shape, sometimes with a short stalk. It is up to eight centimetres long and may be grey, yellowish or white. At the tip is an osculum fringed with long, upright spicules. The surface of the sponge is hairy and the consistency soft. The skeleton consists of both triactines and tetractines. This species closely resembles '' Sycon ciliatum'' but can be distinguished by the fact that the choanocyte chambers are fused. Distribution ...

Sycon Ciliatum
''Sycon ciliatum'' is a species of calcareous sponge belonging to the family Sycettidae. Description This small purse sponge grows singly or in small groups from a single holdfast. It is up to five centimetres long, fairly stiff, greyish-white and spindle-shaped. The osculum at the tip is fringed with fine spicules.Barrett, J. & C. M. Yonge (1958) ''Collins Pocket Guide to the Sea Shore''. Collins, London p41. The surface of the sponge appears furry from its covering of fine papillae. The skeleton consists of a tangential layer of triactines and another of tetractines. This species can be distinguished from the rather similar ''Sycon raphanus'' by the fact that the choanocyte chambers are not fused but are free from each other. Distribution and habitat ''Sycon ciliatum'' is common along the coasts of Europe and occurs on the eastern fringes of the Atlantic Ocean from Scandinavia south to Portugal. It is found low down on the shore and in the neritic zone The neritic zone ( ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
