Leucosolenia botryoides
(Ellis & Solander, 1786)
Penny Martin Please can anyone advise..... it doesn't look like anything in my book ... is it a sponge ?????Rob Spray Good guess... Leucosolenia botryoides - http://www.marlin.ac.uk/speciesinformation.php?speciesID=3665
Penny Martin Thank you .... I really appreciate the help
Cynthia D. Trowbridge lovely! we just dissected the Pacific Leucosolenia last week :-)
Claire Goodwin I'd stick to Lecosolenia sp. at the moment. UK calcarea are a mess (thanks Burton!). We looked at spicules from a load of Lecosolenia specimens and couldn't find a good pattern between them and external form.
Rob Spray ... I never meant to sound so smug and definite...
David Kipling Any Aegires punctilucens crawling around in that clump Penny?
