A30 (76.655N, 147.9033E), depth 36 m (1 specimen; KFU-LH-2/021). Description . Sponge hemispherical or disc-shaped, up to 3 cm in diameter by 1.5 cm thick. It often grows attached on barnacles or small pebbles. A single apical, roundish or slit-like osculum is surrounded by a short spicular collar (Fig. 7a). Sometimes there are a few smaller oscula on the sides. The outer surface seems to be absolutely smooth and even to touch, yet it is covered with slightly projecting circular elevations (up to ~ 1 mm length) or reduced papillae, leading to subdermal cavities and giving the surface a characteristic pattern (Fig. 7b). The dermal membrane is a thin and transparent film devoid of spicules. Sponge firm and elastic. Colour from gray to russet. Spicules of one kind only: slightly sinuous subtylostyles with a ...
