Coelosphaeridae

Coelosphaeridae is a family of sponges belonging to the order Poecilosclerida. Species are found across the globe.

== Description == Originally it was believed that this family was restricted to hollow, bladder-like, spherical, club-shaped, tubular, and cushion-shaped growth forms. Other forms, however, were found to have similar spiculation so have since been included, while other genera such as Coelocarteria were removed due to their differing spiculation. This family now contains a diverse array of forms, including fistular (hollow), branching, massive and encrusting sponges. The surface is typically smooth in fistular forms. It is usually irregularly pitted in non-fistular forms, but areolated (colour ringed) pore-fields are absent.
