Distribution The Korean record is likely a misapplication as it was presented as a Haplosclerida, but semitubulosa is a Mediterranean Halichondria. Possibly the Korean specimen was Haliclona semitubulosa sensu Bergquist, 1961, which was later reassigned to Haliclona (Halichoclona) caminata Bergquist & Fromont, 1988. [details]
