Polymastia lorum
Polymastia lorum is a species of sea sponge belonging to the family Polymastiidae. It is only known from a single specimen found attached to a dead Glycimeris valve on a reef near Ohinau Island, one of the Mercury Islands off North Island, New Zealand.
This is a small encrusting sponge 4 cm across. The outer layer is yellow with an orange-red interior. The most remarkable feature of this sponge is its incredibly long strap-like papillae.
