Ascandra corallicola is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucaltidae.[2] It is known from the coastal waters in northeast Atlantic at depths between 90 and 530 m (300 and 1,740 ft), and on the Reykjanes Ridge as deep as 1,300 m (4,300 ft). It occurs solely on dead parts of the corals Lophelia pertusa and Solenosmilia variabilis, to which its specific name corallicola refers to.[1]
