Hyalonema sieboldi (Hyalonema sieboldi)

Japanese: ホッスガイ(払子貝) - ホッスガイ(英語表記)Hyalonema sieboldi
Hyalonema sieboldi (Hyalonema sieboldi)
A sponge of the family Polypodidae in the class Hexactinellidae (illustration). This deep-sea sponge has been found at depths of 300-500m in Sagami Bay and Suruga Bay. It stands in the mud on the seabed with a long siliceous thread stalk (hasoku) protruding from its cylindrical body 10-15cm in height, and reaches a total length of 50-80cm. It was so named because the stalk resembles a whisk carried by monks. The upper end of the body is flat with a cribriform plate, which covers the large stomach cavity inside the body. The stomach cavity is divided into four chambers by radially arranged partitions.
