Info

Ircinia campana bears among others, the German name Trichterschamm, although it looks more like an inverted hollow cone or an upside down drinking cup.
Sometimes the sponge is called a thicker vase or a fan (incomplete fan).

The outer surface has low undulating projections, and the inner surface has aligned or scattered circular oscula.
The sponge has relatively thin walls, but its consistency is very tough, and difficult to cut even with a knife.

Its color ranges from gray, cream, cinnamon brown (light brown to dark brown), but also purple to reddish hues are mentioned
When the sponge comes out of the water, it smells strongly of sulfur and garlic!

Ircinia campana belongs to the chemically defending sponges.
