Echinoclathria

Echinoclathria is a genus of demosponge in the family Microcionidae.[1]

Echinoclathria
Orange tree sponge ("Echinoclathria dichotoma") with crab at Dreadlocks Reef, near Cape Town. The white polyps on the left are "Parazoanthus", which is often found growing on sponges. The sponge crab is probably "Pseudodromia latens" under the cover of a colonial ascidian which it carries for protection.
