Chondrilla caribensis f. hermatypica: shiny mustard to greenish yellow; tough encrustations. Chondrilla caribensis f. caribensis: grayish to reddish brown; thickly encrusting; often lobed (Ref. 82089). Grows in any combination of thick encrusting lumps, pillows, low mounds, sheets, or runners. Surface is shiny, smooth and slippery. External color: combination of yellow brown and greenish to dark brown, sides often paler; cryptic specimens completely pale white or tan. Internal color: cream. Tough consistency. Oscules scattered or on top of pillows or mounds; usually small, flush or indented with a collar that may be elevated or indented (Ref. 85482).
Depth range from Belize and Panama (Ref. 86836). Occurs in shallow hard bottoms. Often attaches to seagrass blades, dead finger coral branches, mangrove prop roots and artificial structures (Ref. 85482).
Life cycle and mating behavior

Members of the class Demospongiae are hermaphroditic. Life cycle: The zygote develops into parenchymella larva (free-swimming) before settling down on a substrate where it grows into a young sponge.
