Abstract

In this study marine sponges of inter tidal zone from Bushehr province Persian Gulf were collected by wading at a depth of 8 meters at low tides in South Ouli at locations 27° 49' 923'' N, 51° 54' 135'' E.For Morphological identification of sponge samples, acid digestion method as a method of early detection were used. Samples without macro spicules and micro spicules only has two types as oxysphaerasters and  Oxyasters  and all Chondrilla species in this study were encrusting with different thickness and colors on the rocks. To identify the species molecular method cytochrome oxidase CO1 was used. In this study, 4 samples of this genus were morphological and molecular identification of a new species was discovered Chondrilla spPGA 2015.
