Phylum Porifera, Class Vulgaris Sponges, Order Monostemming Sponges, Family Rough Sponge Family. Also known as Tombinohakama. The body is 30cm high and 12cm wide, laterally depressed and cup-shaped, with a large mouth at the top. The surface of the body is rough because of a mesh of spongy fibers containing bone fragments, and the fibers gather at the nodes of the mesh to form protrusions. Only the rod-shaped bodies contain bone fragments. This species was named after the fact that it can remove cotton fluff and other debris from clothing when rubbed against it. It inhabits warm waters and attaches to shallow reefs south of central Honshu, but is often washed up on shore.
