Abstract: Haliclona sp. 1 Fig. 8 Material examined SWEDEN • 1 spec.; Lunneviken; 59.0546° N, 11.169° E; 25 m depth; 2 Nov. 2019; Mats Larsson leg. [MM-191102-1]; SCUBA; LAR-191102-PB020337–38; GenBank nos: OM436271 (coxI), OM415636 (28S D3-D5); voucher: GNM Porifera 1021. Description A massive encrusting specimen, of which only a fragment was collected ca 3 mm long by 2 mm wide. The sponge was roughly cone-shaped, with an osculum on top of the ‘chimney’. The surface is velvety. The specimen was creamy white when alive, but turned yellowish beige when preserved in ethanol (Fig. 8A). Skeleton Due to the dimensions of the collected fragment it was not possible to produce a thick section. Spicules are thin oxeas, with a wide range of sizes (Fig. 8B), measuring: 71.4– 103.8 –136.1 ±10.26 ×0.1– 3.1 – 6.1± 1.27 µm (N=61).
