Summary
|
This is the common purple, sometimes more … This is the common purple, sometimes more orange, encrusting sponge that is found at low tide in more protected areas. It lives higher than most sponges in our area, and in calmer waters than the [[Halichondria panicea|Crumb-of-bread sponge (''Halichondria panicea'')]].
The Name ''Haliclona permollis'' is frequently encountered in the literature, but is no longer accepted. It was apparently replaced by:
''Haliclona (Reniera) cinerea'' (Grant, 1826) in the Atlantic.
''Haliclona permollisimilis'' Hoshino, 1981 in the Northwestern Pacific.
In the Northeastern Pacific, this species may be most appropriately named ''Haloclina (Reniera) sp. A'' in the meantime.
