Arturia compacta
Species of sponge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arturia compacta is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae found in Mauritius.[1] This species is very likely to be synonymous with Arthuria canariensis, differing only in its larger and thicker triactines. However, the type and only known specimen is lost.[2]
