Description.
Flimsy, thin patches on the underside of dead corals. Skeleton unispicular, oxeas thin, 105–126
x 2–4
µm. No microscleres other than a few sigmas that are almost certainly contaminations.
Remarks.
This material is insufficient to characterize it against the many
Haliclona (Reniera)
species. These are likely incipient specimens. They are mentioned here only to draw attention to the existence of a species of
Haliclona (Reniera)
at
Clipperton Island
