Basal mat of spongin cored with sediment. Vertical extensions of spongin 10600 μm high arise from this mat: none of these were cored with sediment, but loose sediment was abundant throughout the sponge. Heads of some spicules are embedded singly, directly in the basal mat of spongin, but most are embedded as tiered bundles in the vertical extensions of spongin.

Styles only, usually slightly bent towards the head end, thickest at the head and tapered to a point. Some spicule tips are “telescoping” (width decreasing in a step-wise fashion) at the pointed end. Spicules averaged 687 μm in length (N=37, range 388801 μm); 15 μm in width (N=37, range 621).

. Habitat was rocky reef with abundant bryozoan, sponge, and anthozoan cover, under a year-round kelp canopy. Considerable search effort at Elwood Reef and nearby locations failed to locate additional individuals, so this species is likely to be rare in this area.
