This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
TreeOfLife-200M image samples for Acanthoclada (Stelligeridae) show marine demosponges with an encrusting to prostrate growth form, typically spreading over the substrate rather than forming erect stalks. The specimens have an irregular, textured surface consistent with variation commonly seen in axinellid/stelligerid sponges at the scale of field photos and specimen images.
