Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 10.0 cm WD αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 415)
Globular up to 10 cm wide, pockmarked or pitted with blind concave depressions (porocalices): 0.3 - 1.5 cm wide; oscules 0.1 - 0.5 cm wide sometimes visible on the top of the sponge. Orange to yellow externally, lighter internally (Ref. 415). May also be hemispheric in high-energy environments, and pear-shaped in quiet water with high sedimentation. Specimens larger than 8 cm may be massive and cake-shaped. Very firm consistency (Ref. 85482).
Known from depths between 3 to 80 m (Ref. 85482).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
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.
