Good morning.
My name is Mada Triandala Sibero. I'm student from Diponegoro University.
I'm a beginner in marine science field especially for sponge identification.
I got this sponge as my sample. According to the shape, it supposed to be Cinachyra sp., but according to spicules identification I don't find any journals shows the Cinachyra sp. has spicules like star shape.
I really need an explanation according to my result. And please correct me if there is any miss understanding.
I really hope there is someone in here could help me.
Thank you very much.
Mada,
Try contacting Dr. RWM van Soest, at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, he may be able to help you.

Hi Mada, you need to post some photos of the different types of microscleres present in the sponge to get an ID
Hi Mada
You need to post a better image of the sponge (closer caption) and the complete spicular set, as suggested by Carina Sim-Smith, as well as the exact collecting locality or region. After that, I can help you with the ID.
hi mada,
i know another person at leiden who might be able to help (nicole de voogd), but she is working together with dr. van soest so she may have already heard about your question.. here is her email address anyway
regards dominik
