Sur la présence de l'éponge Pellina semitubulosa (Lieberkuhn) O. Schmidt dans le golfe de Tunis.

Pellina semitubulosa (Lieberkuhn) O. Schmidt, Reinerides Halichondridae, is reported for the first time in the Gulf of Tunis. Its colonies, high 18 to 20 cm, form thick plates and lives on rocks from the surface area, with fingering and long and slender extensions, purple color on the face exposed to the light. The ectosome is unispiculate, while paucispiculates fibers are found in deeper area. The oxes are slender, curved and have sharp tips, we notice also the presence of small to very small oxes
