Demosponge
Demosponges or common sponges are sponges of the class Demospongiae (from + ), the most diverse group in the phylum Porifera which include greater than 90% of all extant sponges with nearly 8,800 species A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), ... worldwide (according to the World Porifera Database). Being siliceous sponges, they are predominantly sponge#leuconoid, leuconoid in structure with an endoskeleton made of a meshwork of sponge spicule, spicules consisting of fibers of the protein spongin, the mineral silica, or both. Where spicules of silica are present, they have a different shape from those in the otherwise similar glass sponges. Some species, in particular from the Antarctic, obtain the silica for spicule-building from the ingestion of diatoms. The m ...

Polymastiida
Polymastiidae is a family of demosponges found in oceans throughout the world. It is the only family in the monotypic order Polymastiida. A useful diagnostic characteristic of members of this family is the presence of numerous surface papillae although this feature is shown by some other sponges. Genera The following genera are recognised in the family Polymastiidae * '' Acanthopolymastia'' * '' Astrotylus'' * '' Atergia'' * '' Koltunia'' * '' Polymastia'' * '' Proteleia'' * '' Pseudotrachya'' * '' Quasillina'' * '' Radiella'' * '' Ridleia'' * '' Sphaerotylus'' * '' Spinularia'' * ''Tentorium The tentorium (plural tentoria) is a term used to refer to the framework of internal supports within an arthropod head.

Axinella Polypoides
''Axinella'' is a genus of sponges in the family Axinellidae first described in 1862 by Eduard Oscar Schmidt. Species of ''Axinella'' occur in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Most of these sponges are smaller than 20 cm, and have a yellow or orange colour. List of species The following species are recognized within the genus ''Axinella'': *'' Axinella acanthelloides'' Pattanayak, 2006 *'' Axinella alba'' (Descatoire, 1966) *'' Axinella alborana'' Sitjà & Maldonado, 2014 *'' Axinella amorpha'' Tanita & Hoshino, 1989 *'' Axinella anamesa'' (de Laubenfels, 1957) *'' Axinella antarctica'' (Koltun, 1964) *'' Axinella arborescens'' Ridley & Dendy, 1886 *'' Axinella arctica'' Vosmaer, 1885 *'' Axinella aruensis'' (Hentschel, 1912) *'' Axinella australiensis'' Bergquist, 1970 *'' Axinella babici'' Vacelet, 1961 *'' Axinella badungensis'' Alvarez, de Voogd & van Soest, 2016 *'' Axinella balinensis'' Alvarez, de Voogd & van Soest, 2016 *'' Axinella bidderi'' Burton, 1959 *'' Axine ...

Sponge
Sponges or sea sponges are primarily marine invertebrates of the animal phylum Porifera (; meaning 'pore bearer'), a basal clade and a sister taxon of the diploblasts. They are sessile filter feeders that are bound to the seabed, and are one of the most ancient members of macrobenthos, with many historical species being important reef-building organisms. Sponges are multicellular organisms consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells, and usually have tube-like bodies full of pores and channels that allow water to circulate through them. They have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and that often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. They do not have complex 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, usually via flagella movements of the so-called " collar ...

Phylum
In biology, a phylum (; : phyla) is a level of classification, or taxonomic rank, that is below Kingdom (biology), kingdom and above Class (biology), class. Traditionally, in botany the term division (taxonomy), division has been used instead of phylum, although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants accepts the terms as equivalent. Depending on definitions, the animal kingdom Animalia contains about 31 phyla, the plant kingdom Plantae contains about 14 phyla, and the fungus kingdom Fungi contains about eight phyla. Current research in phylogenetics is uncovering the relationships among phyla within larger clades like Ecdysozoa and Embryophyta. General description The term phylum was coined in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel from the Greek (, "race, stock"), related to (, "tribe, clan"). Haeckel noted that species constantly evolved into new species that seemed to retain few consistent features among themselves and therefore few features that distinguishe ...

Subclass (biology)
In Taxonomy (biology), biological classification, class () is a taxonomic rank, as well as a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank. It is a group of related taxonomic orders. Other well-known ranks in descending order of size are Domain (biology), domain, Kingdom (biology), kingdom, phylum, Order (biology), order, Family (biology), family, genus, and species, with class ranking between phylum and order. History The class as a distinct rank of biological classification having its own distinctive name – and not just called a ''top-level genus'' ''(genus summum)'' – was first introduced by France, French botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort in the classification of plants that appeared in his ''Eléments de botanique'' of 1694. Insofar as a general definition of a class is available, it has historically been conceived as embracing taxa that combine a distinct ''grade'' of organization—i.e. a 'level of complexity', measured in terms of how differentiated their organ systems ...

Tetractinellida is an Order (biology), order of sea sponges belonging to the class Demospongiae.
