    What is a Callyspongia vaginalis?
    TRAITS. Callyspongia vaginalis is a simple, primitive marine organism and is among the most abundant species of sponges on many coral reefs in the Caribbean. Many morphologies, surface coloration and growth forms have been observed, but it is usually encountered as one to several elastic grey tubes with small conical projections (Fig. 1).

    Is Callyspongia vaginalis a solitary species?
    POPULATION ECOLOGY. The biomass of this sponge surpasses that of algae and corals in the Caribbean. Callyspongia vaginalis is a solitary species. However it is one of the most dominant members of the sponge community but they have low dispersal capacities (DeBiasse et al., 2010).

    Is Callyspongia vaginalis a morphotype?
    In the Caribbean, several morphotypes of the sponge Callyspongia vaginalis have been observed. To determine the taxonomic status of three 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA. Phylogenetic analyses with ribosomal markers 18S and 28S rRNA confirmed the position of our sequences within the Callyspongiidae.

    Is Callyspongia vaginalis an endangered species?
    Callyspongia vaginalis is not an endangered species since it was not assessed as yet for the IUCN Red List. Callyspongia vaginalis play an important role in the transfer of energy between the benthic and pelagic environments on Caribbean coral reefs (Duckworth et al., 2006) and coral reefs in general.

    Does Callyspongia have phenotypic plasticity?
    Unlike recent studies for other sponge genera, our results indicate that species in the genus Callyspongia maintain a high degree of phenotypic plasticity, and that morphological characteristics may not reflect reproductive boundaries in C. vaginalis.
