Corticium furcatum is a species of sponge in the order Homosclerophorida.[1][2] It was first described in 2021,[1][3] from a fragmented specimen collected at a depth of 5-7 m on the Booker Rocks in Jurien Bay.[1]
It is distinguished by its "large calthrops and exclusive candelabra with bifurcated rays in the apical actine".[3]
