in height. Dense aggregations of the bushes were seen to occur in patches several meters in diameter. The fingers do not appear to attach to a broad base, but rather branch off a small central narrow stalk. The oscula are not obvious and are raised along the surface of the fingers, mostly near the base where neighbouring fingers join. The oscula collapse upon collection. The sponge grows in soft sediment attached to polychaete tubes and small rocks. The colour is pale yellow, with lighter almost white tips

The body surface is irregular and furrowed, with white distal portions that appear denser than the underlying body. A transparent membrane covers the lower portions but collapses after collection. The consistency is firm, with a soft surface texture that crumbles easily after freezing or preservation.

Ectosomal tylotes are arranged tangentially at the surface. Acanthostyles are arranged in the choanosome in a very loose isodictyal reticulation forming triangular or square meshes of multispicular tracts. This reticulation can often appear confused in the choanosome. Bipocilli and spurred anisochelae are scattered throughout the tissues.

This sponge has slightly shorter acanthostyles 193 (193–284) x 9.9 (7.4–11.7) µm, shorter tylotes 187 (157– 244) x 5.9 (3.4–10.4) µm, small bipocilli with unequal alae are 7.9 (6.5–8.7) µm in length and this sponge has one size category of anisochelae that are 18 (14–22) µm in length. The Bay of Fundy specimen was reported to turn black in air, similar to

Therefore, the Frobisher Bay specimens are similar to the Bay of Fundy specimens, in that they only have one size category of anisochelae, though they are smaller in the Bay of Fundy specimen. The two differ, however, in the form of the bipocilli, where the Frobisher Bay specimens have much larger bipocilli with equal sized alae.
