Surface smooth or tuberculate­papillate, usually rough to the touch. Some species show a distinct colour change when taken out of the water. In cross section, the outer region is often fibrous and may be considered as a cortex which grades into the choanosome. Skeleton strictly radial, with tracts and single spicules issuing from the centre of the lobe or globular body. At the surface the tracts fan out and form a dense palisade consisting of smaller spicules intermingled between the ends of the larger spicules. Spicules are strongyloxeas, in three overlapping size categories; the intermediate and smaller spicules are occasionally oxeas, styles or tylostyles.</paragraph>

. Surface is smooth, slightly rough to the touch, with numerous gentle elevations at the tops of which small oscula are opened. Surface colour was light brown in life and has become pale yellow in alcohol, the elevations have remained darker. The cortex is pale yellow to white, very hard and firm in consistency, and cannot be detached from the choanosome. The latter is also hard but crumbly, its colour pale yellow. Numerous aquiferous cavities are located under the cortex and in the internal choanosome.
