Several oscules open on sponge surface, 15 mm in diameter. Colour pale gray and beige in life. Texture firm and compressible.
Skeleton: Primary fibres loose fascicles, 400-1000 μm in diameter, with numerous perforations. Fasciculate or porous secondary fibres branched out. Bridge form of secondary fibres, 50-200 μm in diameter. Filaments, 3-5 μm in diameter, terminal knobs, 10-12 μm in diameter. Fibres difficult to separate from filaments.
