Pipestela terpenensis is a species of sponge belonging to the family Axinellidae.[1][2][3]
The species was first described in 1993 by Jane Fromont as Amphimedon terpenensis from a specimen collected at a depth of 19 m on MacGillivray Reef, Lizard Island in the Great Barrier Reef.[1][4] The species epithet, terpenensis, was given because of the large proportion of terpenes in this sponge.[4]
