Axoniderma corona is a species of demosponge in the family Cladorhizidae.^[1] It is known from type specimens found near the Aleutian Islands.^[2]

Etymology

The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek ἄξων (áxōn), "wheel", and δέρμα (dérma), "skin".^[3] The specific epithet comes from the Latin corona, meaning "crown", in reference to the fact that the species' distal appendages resemble a crown.^[2]
