Corbitella [Corbitella]

Description

Corbitella is a genus of glass sponges in the Euplectellidae family, known for their delicate, branching structures composed of siliceous spicules. These sponges are typically found in deep-sea habitats, where their intricate skeletons contribute to the complex three-dimensional architecture of the benthic environment. Corbitella species are important for studying silica deposition and the ecology of deep-sea sponge communities.
