Euplectella gibbsa

Euplectella gibbsa is a species of glass sponge in the family Euplectellidae. It has been found in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Etymology
The generic name, Euplectella, is derived from the Latin plecto, meaning "to weave", and the prefix eu-, in reference to the "complexity of the interweaving of its component threads".

The specific epithet, gibbsa, is derived from the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone, the species' type locality.
