The sponge was first described in 1992 by John Hooper and Patricia Bergquist.[3][1][2]

It occurs along the Queensland coast, where it is found subtidally to depths up to 20 m, inhabiting coral reefs and lagoon and reef slopes,[3] in waters with surface temperatures from 20 to 30 °C.[4] It has also been found off the eastern tip of New Guinea.[4] It is a sessile, filter feeder.[3]
