This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
Images indexed under Acarnus peruanus in the TreeOfLife-200M/Gbif-linked Naturalis specimens show a marine sponge (Phylum Porifera) preserved as a museum specimen. The sponges appear as compact encrusting to low, irregular masses with visible surface texture typical of preserved calcareous/keratose surfaces in the order Poecilosclerida (sponge body shape varies among specimens).
