Description Description: body rather narrower in its anterior half. Uniformly brown, but a clear ring is around the small buccal tentacles, which form a group 7 mm wide. Podia crowded on the belly, much smaller and scattered on the back, where the skin is much folded. Spicules are only rods, generally more elongated that those figured by Semper. A median axis is apparent and may be somewhat recurved. Shape very variable, surface smooth, edge more or less spiny, holes restricted at the extremities or arranged in a series along one or both sides of the axis. The larger rods are like perforated plates, the smaller may remind buttons. No true buttons or tables have been observed (Tortonese, 1980).
General distribution: from East Africa to Polynesia (Tortonese, 1980); tropical, Indo-west Pacific Ocean, shoreline waters (Rowe & Gates, 1995).
Also distributed in Ceylon, Bay of Bengal, East Indies, north Australia, Philippine and South Pacific Is. (Clark & Rowe, 1971); Australia (Rowe & Gates, 1995).
Ecology: benthic, inshore, detritus feeder, deposit feeder (Rowe & Gates, 1995). [details]
