It was first described by Jane Fromont in 1998, with type specimens from Rosemary Island, Dampier Archipelago, Western Australia, Goss Passage off Beacon Island, from Serventy Island, Easter Group, Abrolhos Islands, and north of Boulder Cliff, Dorre Island Dorre Island is one of three islands that make up the ''Bernier and Dorre Island Nature Reserve'' in the Shark Bay World Heritage area in Western Australia.

Description ''Caulospongia amplexa'' sponges have even lobes (0.2-0.3 cm thick) which consist of a single whorl around the central hollow stem. The lobes slope downwards at the outer edge. The lobes are widest in the central part of the sponge, narrowing towards both the base and the apex. The undersurface of the lobes is finely porous. The sponge is 20-42 cm ...

William Saville-Kent
William Saville-Kent (10 July 1845 – 11 October 1908) was an English marine biologist and author. Early life Born in the town of Sidmouth in Devon, South West England on 10 July 1845, William Saville-Kent was the son of Samuel Saville Kent (7 July 1800 – 5 February 1872) and Mary Ann Windus (b. 1808 – May 1852), who was Samuel's first wife. William was the youngest of ten children from his father's first marriage. Samuel was employed as a "Factory Commissioner" for the Home Office, and inspected factories to ensure that they were properly implementing the worker safety measures regulated in the Factory Acts of 1833. As the acts sought to alleviate the harm done to children that were caused by unregulated working conditions in the factories, Samuel's “duties required him to inspect factories that employed women and children.” Despite having “ambitions for promotion,” Samuel “suffered from the effects of local gossip and disapproval,” as a consequence of him b ...

Sea Sponge
Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera (; meaning 'pore bearer'), are a basal animal clade as a sister of the diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells. Sponges have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and that often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. Sponges do not have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes. Sponges were first to branch off the evolutionary tree from the last common ancestor of all animals, making them the sister group of all other animals. Etymology The term ''sponge'' derives from the Ancient Greek word ( 'sponge'). Overview Sponges are similar to other animals in that they are multicellula ...
