Notes: Thin-walled, orange thin tubes and lobes arising from a crevice-filling mass. It may be a variation of Agelas sventres Lehnert & van Soest, 1996, also pictured here. Agelas wiedenmayeri Alcolado, 1984, pictured here, also has tubes arising from the substratum, but these are brown. Spicules are acanthostyles.
