Distribution and ecology. Ircinia schulzei was first described from Ceylon (Sri Lanka today; Dendy 1905). A previous record from Papua New Guinea (Pulitzer-Finali and Pronzato 1999) and this new record in the Spermonde Archipelago shows that the species could be widespread in the Indo-Pacific region. Our specimen was found living between an anemone and other sponges on top of a rock in the reef flat of north-west of Samalona Island, the Spermonde Archipelago.
