The taxonomic resolution, to the ordinal rank yielded similar patterns and associated taxa between C. lutea and other sponges belonging to the class Demospongiae, with crustaceans being the most abundant (Pease 1950;Pansini 1970;Rützler 1976;Koukouras et al 1985;Voultsiadou-Koukoura et al 1987;Villamizar and Laughlin 1991;Koukouras et al 1992;Ribeiro et al 2003;Skilleter et al 2005;Abdo 2007;Palpandi et al 2007;Huang et al 2008;Greene 2008;Schejter et al 2012;Kersken et al 2014;and Gerovasileiou et al 2016). However, several other studies reported in Appendix 1 of Schejter et al (2012) found Polychaetes to be the most abundant associated organisms.…”

Sponges provide an array of ecological services and benefits for Caribbean coral reefs. They function as habitats for a bewildering variety of species, however limited attention has been paid in the systematics and distribution of sponge-associated fauna in the class Calcarea or for that matter of sponges in the Caribbean. The goal of this study was to characterize infaunal assemblages from a calcareous sponge, Clathrina lutea, across multiple reefs from the La Parguera Natural Reserve, Puerto Rico. The associated fauna from 43 C. lutea specimens yielded a total of 2,249 associated infauna distributed in seven invertebrate phyla. Arthropoda was the most abundant phylum accounting for 62.5% of total abundance, followed by Annelida (21.0%) and Nematoda (5.5%). Limited patterns of temporal or spatial variability were surmised due to the opportunistic sampling effort afforded to this investigation from the cryptic nature of this species. A concordance between our data set and those for the class Demospongiae were observed, with the most abundant associated fauna being copepods and polychaetes. However, when compared to other Calcarea, the present study found considerably more associated fauna.

“…C. reinwardti memiliki bentuk tubuh yang bercabang tidak teratur dan umumnya berwarna kekuningan, kuning sampai oranye (Hooper et al, 2000), sedangkan S. inconstans adalah spons yang umumnya berwarna coklat, bentuk tubuhnya massif, membenamkan sebagian besar tubuhnya ke dalam substrat pasir, dan di tubuhnya banyak mengakumulasi pasir ataupun pecahan-pecahan karang maupun benda-benda padat lainnya. Selain itu, spons S. inconstans di dalam atau pada permukaan tubuhnya banyak terdapat cryptofauna asosiatif, seperti beberapa jenis cacing, krustasea, gastropoda, bivalvia, bintang mengular, dan invertebrata kecil lainnya (Palpandi et al, 2007). (Melawaty et al, 2014), mengandung jamur endofitik Mucor circineloides yang menghasilkan senyawa turunan poliketida dan kerangka benzofuran, yaitu senyawa bis-2-etilheksil-tereftalat, dan tiga senyawa lainnya yang belum teridentifikasi.…”

This study aims to determine the density of the sponges Clathria reinwardti and Spheciospongia inconstans in the reef flat of Barranglompo Island, Spermonde Archipelago, Makassar. The method used is belt transect using a roll meter as a reference for distance. The starting point of the roll meter ± 50 m from the shoreline is drawn perpendicularly to the end of the reef reef by 3 transects with a distance of ± 50m between the roll meters. At each 25m interval the observations were made using a belt transect size of 15m × 5m as the limit of the observation. In each quadrant transect, were done first is documenting of each sponge then count the number of species present in each quadrant. The results showed that the density of Clathria reinwardti at stations I and II were 0.13 and 0.14 m-2 respectively and were not significantly different, while those at stations III and IV were 0.25 and 0.31 m-2 respectively and not significantly different. Station I and II are significantly different from stations III and IV. The density of Spheciospongia inconstans at station I 0.02 m-2, station II 0.14 m-2, station III 0.67 m-2, and station IV 0.44 m-2. The sponge density of S. inconstans between stations was significantly different. The density of C. reinwardti at stations III and IV was higher and significantly different than stations I and II, while the highest density of S. inconstans was found at station III followed by station IV, station II, and station 1, and was significantly different among the four stations. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kerapatan spons Clathria reinwardti dan Spheciospongia inconstans di reef flat Pulau Barranglompo, Kepulauan Spermonde, Kota Makassar. Metode yang digunakan adalah belt transect dengan menggunakan roll meter sebagai acuan jarak. Titik awal roll meter ±50 m dari garis pantai secara tegak lurus ditarik sampai batas akhir reef reef sebanyak 3 transek dengan jarak ±50m antar roll meter. Pada setiap interval 25m pengamatan dilakukan menggunakan belt transect ukuran 15m × 5m sebagai batasan pengamatan. Pada setiap transek kuadran, pertama-tama yang dilakukan adalah mengambil gambar setiap spons kemudian menghitung jumlah jenis yang terdapat pada setiap kuadran. Hasil penelitian, kerapatan spons Clathria reinwardti di stasiun I dan II masing-masing 0.13 dan 0.14 m-2 dan tidak berbeda nyata, sedangkan di stasiun III dan IV masing-masing 0.25 dan 0.31 m-2 dan tidak berbeda nyata. Stasiun I dan II berbeda nyata dengan stasiun III dan IV. Kerapatan spons Spheciospongia inconstans pada stasiun I 0.02 m-2, stasiun II 0.14 m-2, stasiun III 0.67 m-2, dan stasiun IV 0.44 m-2. Kerapatan spons Spheciospongia inconstans antar stasiun berbeda nyata. Kerapatan Clathria reinwardti pada stasiun III dan IV lebih tinggi dan berbeda nyata daripada stasiun I dan II, sedangkan kerapatan Spheciospongia inconstans tertinggi didapatkan pada stasiun III disusul kemudian stasiun IV, stasiun II, dan stasiun 1, serta berbeda nyata di antara keempat stasiun tersebut.
