euplectella
Euplectella is a genus of deep-sea sponge, specifically belonging to the family Euplectellidae, notable for their tough silica-based skeleton and often cylindrical or delicate lattice structure which forms a protective housing for the sponge. They are often referred to as "Venus' flower basket." The sponge lives in symbiotic relationship with a pair of shrimp that become trapped inside the sponge's skeleton while they are juveniles, and spend their entire lives inside.
Webster Dictionary
Euplectellanoun
a genus of elegant, glassy sponges, consisting of interwoven siliceous fibers, and growing in the form of a cornucopia; -- called also Venus's flower-basket
