(Esper, 1794)
Ulosa digitata is a rather rare shallow water sponge, but has a fairly large distribution area and settles on rocks and in algae environments.
The coloration ranges from a salmon color to pink to a yellowish appearance, the sponge can grow up to 8cm thick and extend to 17cm in size.
The structure of the sponge is fine and sometimes a little slippery, sometimes easily torn and indentable.
The copepod Scottocheres elongatus (T. & A. Scott, 1894) very often parasitizes in the sponge.
