A new carnivorous sponge, Chondrocladia robertballardi sp. nov. (Porifera: Cladorhizidae) from two north-east Atlantic seamounts
Carnivorous sponges (Porifera: Cladorhizidae) are a particularly interesting group of species typically occurring in deep-sea habitats. In this study a new species , Chondrocladia ( Chondrocladia ) robertballardi sp. nov., is described from specimens collected on two large north-east Atlantic seamou...
