Description Shape. Typically simple digitate, stoloniferous, cylindrical or occasionally laterally compressed branches (7-25mm diameter), forming meandering digits with multiple points of attachment to substrate; no differentiation between branches and stalk, with branches attaching directly to substrate; branches frequently anastomose with adjacent branches sometimes forming complex intertwined digits; free branches mostly simple, rarely bifurcate;
several thickly encrusting, bulbous specimens also collected, presumably immature growth stages.
Colour Very light orange, orange-brown, orange-red-brown, light brown, to grey-white pigmentation alive, and orange-brown to grey-white in ethanol; ectosomal membrane varies from colourless (opaque), to grey subectosomal and
choanosomal regions generally darker than periphery, usually clearly visible through ectosomal membrane when alive.
Oscules. Abundant, relatively large (560-2760um diameter), predominant on lateral sides of branches; oscules slightly raised with prominent membraneous lip (often orange pigmented) surrounding aperture; generally thicker specimens have larger oscules raised further above surface and more prominent subectosomal sculpturing; oscules collapse in air.
Texture and surface characteristics. Soft, compressible,
flexible, moderately easy to tear; surface smooth, pellucid, semi-translucent in life,with prominent stellate subectosomal channels radiating towards oscules, particularly in thicker specimens, more even surface ornamentation in thinner specimens; ectosomal membrane collapses upon dessication and preservation, becoming
roughened and pocked with ridges and cavities.
Ectosome and subectosome. Thin layer of smaller
ectosomal auxiliary subtylostyles form discrete brushes erect on surface, in a continuous palisade, supported by long or short subectosomal plumose tracts from peripheral fibre skeleton; ectosomal region generally poorly collagenous but variable in thicker specimens; subectosomal region cavernous with lacunae (120-660um diameter) supported
paucispicular plumose tracts of subectosomal auxiliary subtylostyles, no fibres,but moderate quantities of collagen between spicule tracts; plumose tracts of choanosomal principal styles also near periphery in some cases protruding through ectosomal skeleton.
Choanosotne. Skeletal architecture irregularly or
semi-regularly reticulate, with anastomosing spongin fibres (40-120um diameter) forming curved oval, straight triangular or rectangular meshes (50-470um diameter) in choanosome; fibre meshes generally more irregular near core
than periphery; no clear distinction between primary and secondary fibres; fibres light, always fully cored by choanosomal principal styles, with dense echinating acanthostyles on surface; abundant auxiliary spicules scattered between fibres; mesohyl matrix light, poorly pigmented, surrounding ovoid to eliptical choanocyte chambers (130-250um diameter); specimens from turbid,muddy intertidal habitats incorporate moderate amounts of inorganic detritus into mesohyl but not into fibres.
Megascleres. Choanosomal principal styles slightly curved at
centre, short, thick, invariably with smooth rounded bases, hastate or occasionally strongylote points (111-305 x 5-21um).
Subectosomal auxiliary styles straight or sometimes slightly curved near basal end, relatively thick, with fusiform, sharp points, sometimes telescoped or mucronate, and rounded or slightly subtylote, usually faintly microspined bases (113-337 x 3-16um).
Ectosomal auxiliary styles morphologically similar to subectosomal spicules, but markedly shorter, thinner, fusiform, sharply pointed or mucronate, straight, with slight subtylote basal swellings and profusely microspined bases (66-181 x 2=8um).
Echinating acanthostyles short, stout, with rounded, bluntened points, slightly subtylote bases, unevenly spined with aspinose 'neck' proximal to base; spines heaviest on base and points, spines broad at base, sharp, recurved ( [details]
