A genus of basket-like or latticed marine organisms, typically small sponges or related creatures.
From Latin 'clathri' (latticework) + '-aria' (place or collection of). This is a taxonomic genus name following Linnaean nomenclature conventions.
This organism was named by describing what it looks like—'latticework thing'—which is how scientists tackle naming the thousands of strange creatures from deep ocean that no one's ever seen before.
