Stelletta [Stelletta]

Description

Stelletta is a genus comprising sponges with a compact, often globular form, and a surface that can be smooth or slightly textured. The spicules in Stelletta are diverse, including both microscleres and megascleres, which contribute to the density and resilience of their structure. These sponges are distributed across a wide range of marine habitats, from shallow reefs to deeper sea floors, where they play a role in the ecosystem's complexity.
