Clathrina coriacea is a species of calcareous sponge belonging to the class Calcarea and family Clathrinidae.

[1] This three-dimensional calcareous sponge species occurs as flat white or yellow encrustations and can also be found with grey, pale rose or orange colors.

[5] The tight tubes form a delicate common oscule and the skeleton is made of the calcareous spicules.

[10] The reproduction time period of Clathrina coriacea is from the summer and fall months of July to October.

[12] This species of sponge undergoes fragmentation in the summer and reproduction is influenced by environmental factors including temperature.

[17] These sponges are significant in the process of cycling food particles throughout the water column and rocky habitats.
