Choanosome color, alive and in ethanol, is whitish. However, in live green specimens, the choanosome just below the cortex can also be greenish. It is a slightly compressible sponge with a dense choanosome, and a tough cortex, difficult to break. Surface is usually smooth, but can be hispid in some areas.

is very polymorphic when it comes to its gross morphology (lobate to flat, massive to encrusting) and its color (white, brown, green and black). A pattern emerges when one considers its two habitats (reef and mangrove). Reef specimens tend to be smaller in size with common encrusting forms, and are usually white to brown. On the other hand, mangrove specimens like ours tend to be large, massive, lobate, and darker colored. Ecology studies have shown that
