English term or phrase: cup sponge
Hallo,

ich übersetze momentan Beschreibungen von verschiedenen Tauchplätzen, in denen auch die dort vorkommenden Tier- und Pflanzenarten aufgezählt werden.

Leider konnte ich bisher keine eindeutige Entsprechung für "cup sponge" finden. Nach meinen Recherchen könnte eventuell "Neptunsbecher" oder "Becherschwamm" passen, aber ich hätte gerne eine Bestätigung für die eine oder andere Variante.

Ein Foto habe ich leider nicht.

Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe,

Kerstin

Schwamm der Gattung cliona patera
Explanation:
Cliona patera, commonly called Neptune's cup, is a species of demosponge in the family Clionaidae. Among the larger known sponges at up to a meter in height ...
Although the sure fact is that the scientific name of the cup sponge is cliona patera, it is impossible to find the name in German with hits
http://www.tierlexikon.net/cliona-aprica.htm lists only the latine name.

Neptunsbecher is found in the alphabetical index of a book from
Cliona: C. celata Grant. 88. Neptunsbecher, C. patera Hardw. . . . 8 9. Familie: Korkschwämme ... Feiner Levantiner Schwamm, E. o. mol- lissima 0. Schm. 95.

Neptunsbecher is a second possibility

There it is said
Zu den Kieselschwämmen rechnet man z. B. den schöngeformten Venuskorb, Euplectella aspergillum, im Gebiet der Philippinen und den Neptunsbecher, Poterion neptuni, einen gut 1,5 m hoch werdenden, becherartigen Schwamm des Pazifik.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your extensive answer. I had actually looked at the same sources and will probably opt for "Neptunsbecher" as my text is rather touristic than scientific.
