Corticium diamantense explained
Corticium diamantense is a species of sea sponge in the order Homosclerophorida, first found in vertical walls of reef caves at depths of about 23mto28mm (75feetto92feetm) in the Caribbean Sea.[1] This species has oscula situated near its border; regular non-lophose calthrops of one size, rare tetralophose calthrops and candelabra, the fourth actine of which is basally ramified into 4 or 5 microspined rays. Corticium is related to fungi and surrounds a variety of species. Though the species has an important significance, this organism remains poorly known.
