Aaptos bergmanni is an accepted marine sponge species in the family Suberitidae (order Suberitida). [2]
In the TreeOfLife-200M images for Aaptos bergmanni (GBIF-sourced specimens held by the Yale University Peabody Museum), the sponge is preserved as a macroscopic invertebrate specimen with the external surface clearly visible. The growth form appears as an encrusting-to-massive demospongian habit typical of many Suberitidae representatives, with a relatively smooth to finely textured surface in preserved view.
