Claviscopulia

[3] Claviscopulia is one of the genus in the family Farreidae under a class of glass sponges or Hexactinellida.

[4] Hexactinellida can exist in many different forms and shapes: sac, vase, blade, and branching.

However, despite being the oldest metazoans, glass sponges are the most understudied compared to other Porifera classes.

Dictyonal Framework are mesh-like or net-like arrangements that are either irregular or polygonal that make up the entire body structures.

Glass sponges are distinct filter-feeders that thrive in thedeeper part of the ocean even though plankton concentrations are considerably low.

[12] Glass sponges such as Claviscopulia are found worldwide in both hard and soft substrates and in the deeper part of the sea ranging from around 200m to more than 6000m.

In some cases, glass sponges live in shallower areas like the submarine caves in Mediterranean or off the coast of British Columbia.
