Families

Bubarida is an order of demosponges in the subclass Heteroscleromorpha. [2]

Demosponge A class of sponges in the phylum Porifera with spongin or silica spicules

Demospongiae is the most diverse class in the phylum Porifera. They include 76.2% of all species of sponges with nearly 8,800 species worldwide. They are predominantly leuconoid in structure. Their "skeletons" are made of spicules consisting of fibers of the protein spongin, the mineral silica, or both. Where spicules of silica are present, they have a different shape from those in the otherwise similar glass sponges.

Heteroscleromorpha subclass of demosponges

Heteroscleromorpha is a subclass of demosponges within the phylum Porifera.

Polymastia is a genus of sponges (Porifera) containing about 30 species. These are small to large encrusting or dome-shaped sponges with a smooth surface having many teat-shaped projections (papillae). In areas of strong wave action, this genus does not grow the teat structures, but instead grows in a corrugated form.
