Cliona celata is a species of demosponge belonging the the family Clionaidae. This is one of the "boring sponges", which create round holes up to around 5 cm in diameter in limestone and the shells of molluscs, especially oysters. The sponge itself is often visible as a rather featureless yellow or orange lump at the bottom of the hole. This sponge has a worldwide distribution and is common in many areas.
