FIGURE 6. Chondropsis subtilis n. sp. A–B, Living sponge encrusting Carijoa riisei in situ. Note in B the pink massive sponge close to C. riisei might be the holotype of this species; C, Holotype encrusting several branches of C. riisei; D, Sand and spicules creating a fine and regular network on the sponge surface; E, Sponge surface showing a homogeneous layer of sand, foreign spicules and strongyles; F, Choanosomal skeleton of ascending tracts of spongin, embedded with sand grains, strongyles and foreign spicules; G, Straight and very thin strongyle; H, Very thin sigmas.
