Plocamiopsis [Plocamiopsis]

Description

Plocamiopsis is a genus of marine sponges within the family Microcionidae, known for their resilient structures and adaptability to different marine environments. These sponges often form encrusting or slightly lobate bodies, with a skeleton primarily composed of spongin and uniquely shaped spicules that provide support and deter predation. Plocamiopsis species are found in a variety of habitats, from intertidal zones to deeper waters, where they play a role in biofiltration and serve as a living space for small marine organisms.
