in height. Some colonies have multiple oscular lobes stemming from one base. The base is thinly encrusting, spreading laterally. Bases surface is smooth, even, and occasionally irregular with few microscopic pores. In some specimens multiple, long, thin anastomosing branches project outward from the base. Oscula may spread laterally across branches. Superficial canals are slightly pronounced along the base of some individuals but are rarely present. Consistency is soft, delicate, compressible, and easily torn. Color in live specimens ranges from light brown, light purple to greyish yellow. A gradient from dull yellow to purple can be observed concurrently on the same individual.

Ectosome is ill defined in some specimens but when present, is composed of an isotropic unispicular, isodictyal reticulation of oxeas. Rectangular (80120 µm in diameter) or quadrangular meshes (up to 150 µm in diameter) are composed of 510 oxeas which meet at the nodes with very little spongin. The lack of spongin gives the ectosome a translucent appearance. Choanosome in some specimens is less organized and consists of an isotropic to subisotropic reticulation forming meshes similar in size and shape to those found in the ectosome. Few discernable unispicular ascending primary tracts (spaced 100150 µm apart) are visible in some individuals but are not connected by a regular frequency of secondary tracts (

is the most appropriate classification for this species, the ectosomal skeleton when present is not “very regular” nor does the presence of spongin conform to its definition. Spongin is not only present at the nodes of spicules that build the skeletal framework but is also abundant throughout the choanosome.
