- Notes: Pinkish/orange, thick jugs-tubes; surface with round oscules surrounded by convoluted deep crevices which are rather homogenously distributed throughout the body. Spicules are acanthostyles. May be confused with some Agelas tubulata Lehnert & van Soest, 1996 having some deep crevices or lumps unevenly distributed in parts of the body (some specimens were hard to assign to either A. cerebrum o A. tubulata), but usually those do not have the oscules or fields of pores among recesses.
