Description. Large hemispherical sponge, size up to 16 × 14 × 7 cm. Surface, almost indistinct conules, and covered with thick filamentous membrane. Numerous thin branched fibres and thick perforated skeletal fibres appeared near surface. Small oscules, 1-2.5 mm in diameter, open on top of sponge, and some oscules united with several small oscules. Colour in life pale purple, beige inside. Texture firm and compressible.
Skeleton: Complex fasciculate primary fibres, 150- 250 μm, 500-800 μm in diameter. Secondary fibres, 130- 200 μm in diameter, perforated web or bridged type. Middle part of secondary fibre, simple fascicles ( Fig. 2 G-H). Filaments, two sizes, 2.5-3, 5-8 μm in diameter, terminal knobs, 10-15 μm in diameter.
Etymology. This new species name, rutzleri , is named after Dr. Rützler who is a biologist and curator, Dept. of Invertebrate zoology, Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History.
