The Subphylum Cellularia is further organized into finer groupings including:
- Class (7): Archaeocyatha · Calcarea · Demospongea · Demospongiae · Gastropoda · Irregulares · Stromatoporoidea
Classes
Archaeocyatha
Calcarea
The calcareous sponges of class Calcarea are members of the animal phylum Porifera, the cellular sponges. They are characterized by spicules made out of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite or aragonite. While most have three points, the spicule of a calcareous sponge may have two to four points.

Demospongea
The Demospongiae are the largest class in the phylum Porifera. Their "skeletons" are made of spicules consisting of fibers of the protein spongin, the mineral silica, or both. They contain 90% of all species of sponges and are predominantly leuconid structural grade. [more]
Demospongiae
The Demospongiae are the largest class in the phylum Porifera. Their "skeletons" are made of spicules consisting of fibers of the protein spongin, the mineral silica, or both. They contain 90% of all species of sponges and are predominantly leuconid structural grade. [more]
Gastropoda
The class Gastropoda or the gastropods, also previously known as gasteropods, or univalves, and more commonly known as snails, are the most diversified class belonging to the phylum of mollusks, with 60,000-75,000 known living species. This class of animals is second only to insects in its number of known species. [more]
Irregulares
