Etymology Spinther bohnorum is named after Brenda and Jeffrey Bohn and their family [details]
Habitat Spinther bohnorum is likely to associate with red sponges, given its colouration and the known association of the genus with living on the surface of sponges. However, this is unconfirmed. The species was not collected directly on a sponge, but rather found in washings of coral rubble. [details]
