Extract
Sycon compressum is one of the long-recognised sponges, that stand refreshingly conspicuous in a group made difficult with doubtful definitions. The unique dermal spicules, and the striking outward form, divide it from other species in a way quite different from that in which Sycon raphanus is divided from S. villosum or Renicra cinerea from Reniera permollis.
