Clathria lissoclada, the triangular blade sponge, is a species of demosponge from the southern hemisphere.
This stalked pink to orange sponge grows up to a length of 180 mm (7.1 in)and a width of 80 mm (3.1 in). The somewhat flat branches arise from semi-triangular blades. The surface is smooth with many randomly distributed oscules. This sponge is semi-compressible and tough. [2]
This species is found off the coast of South Africa and off the Falklands. It is found at depths of 16–77 m (52–253 ft). [2]
This species often has polyp-like invertebrates living on its surface. [2]
