Clathrina conifera is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil.[1] The species name refers to the cone-shaped appearance of the triactines.

Description

Cormus formed of large, irregular and loosely anastomosed tubes, white in life and beige when preserved. Water-collecting tubes are absent. The skeleton is composed only of triactines without any special organisation. They are equiradiate and equiangular. Actines are conical and straight with blunt tips.[2]
