Agelas dispar

Notes: Brown, massive, lobate, club-shaped, fan-shaped. Surface pierced by numerous round to elongated-contorted holes, interspersed between round oscules with slightly elevated collars. Club shaped, thin individuals can be confused with Agelas cervicornis<(i> (Schmidt, 1870), also pictured here, which is branching and usually thinner. Spicules are acanthostyles.
