- Notes: It may correspond to Clathrina coriacea (Montagu, 1818) described by several Caribbean authors (a name from NE Atlantic). Yellow cushions with upper or scattered oscula, made of riddled tubules, but somehow compact and possibly sharing a cortex. Only with triactines . It can belong to another genus (Leucascus?) or family of the order Clathrinida. Apparently, there is no available name for Caribbean populations of this species. For Clathrina revision see Klautau & Valentine (2003).
