Corticium diamantense is a
sea sponge in the order Homosclerophorida, first found in vertical walls of reef caves at depths of about 23 to 28 metres (75 to 92 ft) in the Caribbean Sea.[1] This species has oscula situated near its border; regular non-lophose calthrops of one size, rare tetralophose calthrops and candelabra, the fourth actine
of which is basally ramified into 4 or 5 microspined rays. Corticium is related to fungi and surrounds a variety of species. Though the species has an important significance, this organism remains poorly known.
