- Notes: Orange tubes with a corrugated surface, compressible; a branching specimen was found with the same spicule complement. Spicules are curved styles of various sizes, and curved to bent oxea always larger than styles. It can be confused with Axinella corrugata (George & Wilson, 1919). We compared co-existing specimens (see images) and their surface is different, A. corrugata having larger protrusions. They have a similar spicule complement, excepting that A. corrugata has an additional category of styles which are larger than the oxea.
