| morphological_description: | Flat to saucer- or funnel-shaped sponges with a short stalk; gastral surface with numerous ostia, each with several tangential canals that converge into a small ostium, the depression of which is occupied by a few, rather large, thin-walled vertical canals. Dermal surface of sponge with round ostia arranged in more or less radiating rows and defined by radial anthaspidellid trab-based skeleton, which is composed in large part of dendroclones in ladderlike series." | → | Flat to saucer- or funnel-shaped sponges with a short stalk; gastral surface with numerous ostia, each with several tangential canals that converge into a small ostium, the depression of which is occupied by a few, rather large, thin-walled vertical canals.
