This is the first report of egg release by the oviparous excavating sponge Cliona viridis. Adult specimens of excavating (α) and massive (β) sponge forms for the presence of oocytes were monitored from 11 May to 12 July 2000, in a shallow-rocky coast of the north-west Mediterranean. The immediate environment around the sponge was sampled for the presence of eggs. Spawning occurred synchronously in the study area at temperatures above 19°C. Oocytes were released in clusters enclosed in adhesive maternal tissue. They contained symbiotic zooxanthellae. Free, adhesive egg-masses drifted in the water or adhered to erect algae in the vicinity of the sponge. Morula stages and larval release are described.
