Axoniderma poritea is a species of demosponge in the family Cladorhizidae.[1] It is known from type specimens found on the east coast of Australia.[2]

## Etymology

[edit]

The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek ἄξων (áxōn), "wheel", and δέρμα (dérma), "skin".[3] The specific epithet was given due to the fact that, when looked at from above, the shape of the species' pseudoamphiasters resemble the corallites of the genus of coral Porites.[2]
