Description
[edit]Calcinea in which the cormus is formed by anastomosed tubes covered by a thin membranous layer, at least in young specimens. Cormus is massive/globular with or without a stalk. The skeleton contains regular (equiangular and equiradiant) triactines and tetractines, but parasagittal triactines may be present. Triactines are the most numerous spicules. Aquiferous system asconoid.[1]
