Abstract

We report one species of sponge i.e. Haliclona (Reniera) debilis Pulitzer-Finali, 1993 collected from Narara Reef areas of Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat, as a new record to India. The details of the morphometric analysis along with previous distributional details are depicted here. This study also confirms the report of Haliclona (?Reniera) cf. cinerea (Grant, 1826) sensu Dendy (1916) from the aforementioned study area.
