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 ...

Animals Described In 1885
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinoderms a ...

''Neopetrosia'' is a genus of marine petrosiid sponges. It was first established by the American spongiologist Max Walker de Laubenfels in 1932. It contains these 27 species: *'' Neopetrosia carbonaria'' (Lamarck, 1814) *'' Neopetrosia chaliniformis'' (Thiele, 1899) *'' Neopetrosia compacta'' (Ridley & Dendy, 1886) *''Neopetrosia contignata'' (Thiele, 1899) *'' Neopetrosia cristata'' Vicente, Ríos, Zea & Toonen, 2019 *'' Neopetrosia cylindrica'' (Lamarck, 1815) *''Neopetrosia delicatula'' (Dendy, 1905) *''Neopetrosia dendrocrevacea'' Vicente, Ríos, Zea & Toonen, 2019 *''Neopetrosia densissima'' (Wilson, 1904) *'' Neopetrosia dominicana'' (Pulitzer-Finali, 1986) *''Neopetrosia dutchi'' Van Soest, Meesters & Becking, 2014 *''Neopetrosia eurystomata'' Van Soest, Meesters & Becking, 2014 *''Neopetrosia granulosa'' (Wilson, 1925) *''Neopetrosia halichondrioides'' Dendy, 1905 *''Neopetrosia massa'' (Ridley & Dendy, 1886) *''Neopetrosia ovata'' Van Soest, Meesters & Becking, 2014 *'' ...

Halichondria Poa
''Halichondria'' is a genus of sea sponges belonging to the family Halichondriidae. These are massive, amorphous sponges with clearly separated inner and outer skeletons consisting of bundles of spicules arranged in a seemingly random pattern. This genus of sponges became important through the discovery of cell division limiting properties of the extract Halichondrin B, which inhibits cell mitosis. The drug Eribulin, a related compound and an inhibitor of microtubule function, has become an important chemotherapy treatment for certain types of cancer. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Halichondria'': * Subgenus ''Eumastia'' Schmidt, 1870 ** '' Halichondria attenuata'' (Topsent, 1915) ** ''Halichondria maraensis'' Kim & Sim, 2009 ** '' Halichondria schmidti'' Dendy, 1895 ** ''Halichondria sitiens'' (Schmidt, 1870) * Subgenus ''Halichondria'' Fleming, 1828 ** ''Halichondria adelpha'' de Laubenfels, 1954 ** '' Halichondria agglomerans'' Cabioch, 1968 ** ''H ...

Calyx Podatypa
''Calyx podatypa'' is a species of sea sponge belonging to the family Phloeodictyidae. It is native to the Caribbean. The species was first described in 1934 by American spongiologist Max Walker de Laubenfels. It is commonly found in shallow reefs, among seagrass and on mangrove roots. It is described as being mostly hollow with growths that range from branched to lobate in shape and tubular projections. It has round openings between 1-5mm in size. The colour is "Brown-yellowish to greenish" on the outside and tan on the inside.

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opi ...
