Though I have not examined the spicules of this sponge, this species is likely. It was hard (but not as hard as Acarnus), and lacked the Acarnus “volcanos”. When collected, it slimed profusely, as this species does, but most other local orange species do not. It was also larger than the other orange Poecilosclerida I have found. Sponge is shown as found (recovering from an apparent injury, but not one made by me.)
