On a hexactinellid sponge aggregation at the Great Meteor seamount (North-east Atlantic)
Hexactinellids or glass sponges constitute a predominantly deep-sea sponge group typically occurring at bathyal and abyssal depths. Some species form dense populations along the European and African continental slope but the distribution and extent of these populations remains ill known and the driv...
