The sponge body and stem are encrusted with the predominately spherical microstrongyles, but also include the abyssochelae. Immediately under the encrusting layer are the sinuous styles. The ectosomal skeleton of the roots is a thin membranous layer with occasional abyssochelae, sigmas and sigmancistras.
