Polymastia is a genus of sea sponges containing about 30 species.[1] These are small to large encrusting or dome-shaped sponges with a smooth surface having many teat-shaped projections (). In areas of strong wave action, this genus does not grow the teat structures, but instead grows in a corrugated form.[2]
