Leucetta villosa is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucettidae, and was first described in 1999 by Gert Wörheide and John Hooper.[3][1] The species epithet, villosa, comes from the Latin, villosus ("hairy"), and was given because of the "hair-like extensions on the sponge surface".[1]
It is found in Queensland coastal waters,[2] where occurs in waters with surface temperatures of 20 to 25 °C.[4]
