}}Callyspongia vaginalis, known as the branching vase sponge is a demosponge.[1]

This species is frequently colonized by Parazoanthus parasiticus, a colonial anemone, and Ophiothrix suensonii, a brittle star.[1] It feeds on plankton and detritus.[1] The color of C. vaginalis is variable, ranging from lavender to brownish-gray to greenish-gray and sometimes light tan.[2]

C. vaginalis usually has a tubular growth pattern, although the magnitude of the current affects its growth form.[1] The long, erect tubes taper slightly and have a wide vent up to 2.5 cm in diameter with a thin wall.[2] The sponge has very elastic tubes that vary in length and can stand singly or with other tubes.[1] The sponge is rough with its irregular pits and nubs covering its surface.[1] The species is found on hard surfaces, usually reef plateaus and deep reef slopes.[1]

It lives in the area of the Caribbean, Florida, Bermuda, and the Bahamas.[1] It grows at a temperature of 20°-24 °C.[1]
