Dragmacidon [Dragmacidon]

Description

Dragmacidon is a genus of sponges found in the family Axinellidae, distinguished by their robust and often brightly colored structures. These sponges can be found attached to rocky substrates in a variety of marine environments, from shallow reefs to deeper oceanic waters. Their bodies are composed of a network of spicules that provide support and deter predators. Dragmacidon species are important for their role in marine ecosystems, particularly in nutrient cycling and providing shelter for small marine organisms.
