Bolosoma [Bolosoma]
Description
Bolosoma encompasses a group of glass sponges within the Rossellidae family, recognized by their ball-like, sometimes encrusting body forms. Their skeletons are composed of silica, forming a mesh that supports their structure. These sponges are inhabitants of deep-sea environments, where they are involved in nutrient cycling and provide shelter for various small marine creatures.
