Visual Description
Species identity notes and morphology described here are based on specimen/observation imagery aggregated under Axinyssa digitata in the TreeOfLife-200M dataset.
- Overall growth form in images appears as a relatively thin encrusting to low-profile sponge (i.e., not an erect, heavily branched morphology).
- Surfaces visible in the images show a textured exterior consistent with sponge tissue/choanodermal regions; individual oscula or conspicuous openings are not consistently identifiable from the dataset images sampled.
