- Calcarea - has single nuclues and single external membrane.
- Glass Sponges - has multinucleated cell.
- Demosponges - same as calcerea but their spicules are made of silica whereas for Calcarea it is made of calcite.
- Homoscleromorpha - same as Demosponges except for the different body structure it has. It is the most recently classified class.
