Taxonomy There are rivalling names for this species (see list of synonyms). The present name, considered valid, is based on Alcyonium cydonium Jameson, 1811. This is a junior homonym of Alcyonium cydonium Linnaeus, 1767 and also of Alcyonium cydonium sensu Müller, 1796. For that reason, the latter name was replaced by Fleming, 1828 with the name Cydonium muelleri. However, since Müller's A. cydonium has been demonstrated to be not a sponge, this replacement name is unvailable for the present species. Jameson's Alcyonium cydonium is a Geodia, and thus it becomes available as Geodia cydonium. [details]

Reproduction Transfer of symbiotic bacteria in the mature oocyte of Geodia cydonium (Porifera, Demospongiae). Oviparous sponge [details]Taxonomy There are rivalling names for this species (see list of synonyms). The present name, considered valid, is based on Alcyonium cydonium Jameson, 1811. This is a junior homonym of Alcyonium cydonium Linnaeus, 1767 and also of Alcyonium cydonium sensu Müller, 1796. For that reason, the latter name was replaced by Fleming, 1828 with the name Cydonium muelleri. However, since Müller's A. cydonium has been demonstrated to be not a sponge, this replacement name is unvailable for the present species. Jameson's Alcyonium cydonium is a Geodia, and thus it becomes available as Geodia cydonium. [details]
