Info

Dercitus (Dercitus) bucklandi (Bowerbank, 1858)
Dercitus (Dercitus) bucklandi grows vertically in crevices and on overhanging rock faces, which it fills.
It is black or dark grey-brown on the outside and grey-yellow on the inside.
Dercitus (Dercitus) bucklandi forms a layer similar to a membrane inside the crevices, and this sponge grows particularly frequently on limestone.

Please note: Gray and black sponges in particular, which often look very similar, are often confused.
