Hexactinellida

(260 views)

The class of Hexactinellida (hex=6, actine=ray), also known as glass sponges, is based upon the form of the spicules and the organization of the skeleton layer. It consists of a skeleton of spicules that have 6 rays. These rays are aligned along 3 axis at right angles to each other. However the number of rays may be reduced in some spicules. The species and genera of the sponge are defined upon the overall morphology of the sponge and upon the dimensions, type and precise localization of the spicules.
