CLIONIDAE d'Orbigny, 1851 (Porifera, Hadromerida): proposed emendment of spelling to CLIONAIDAE to remove homonymy with CLIONIDAE Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Pteropoda)
The purpose of this application, under Articles 29 and 55.3.1 of the Code, is to remove homonymy between the family names CLIONIDAE Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca) and CLIONIDAE d'Orbigny, 1851 (Porifera) by changing the spelling of the junior homonym.
Clione Pallas, 1774 and Clio Linnaeus, 1767 are respectively the type genera of CLIONIDAE Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca) and CLIOIDAE Jeffreys, 1869 (Mollusca).

The fibrous sponges also belong to this class; they include the common bath sponges, Hippospongia communis and Spongia officinalis, and most of the other sponges used commercially.
The boring sponges (family Clionidae) are extremely interesting because of their ability to bore into calcareous rocks and mollusk shells.
They begin their boring as larvae and spend their lives in the tunnels they form.

I agree with Willan et al.'s interpretation of ‘Clione R. Clio Brown’ and I agree that the type genus of the family name should be regarded to be Clione Rafinesque, 1815, not Clione Pallas, 1774.
It is clear that, ever since Rafinesque (1815), there has been a continuous usage of a family name with the stem clio-, based on Clio or Clione, with authorship attributed to different authors, but consistently extended to designate gymnosomes and not thecosomes.
This should be reflected by a ruling of the Commission that the type genus of CLIONIDAE Rafinesque, 1815, Clione, should be attributed to Pallas, 1774 and not to Rafinesque, 1815.

 Jahrbuch-CD der MPG 2003 - Pione lampa, a bioeroding spong
This ability enables the sponge to utilise the reef as substrate.
Within the Clionidae, Cliona annulifera and three species of the genus Pione are the only species known to produce typical gemmules.
Possible reasons are: (1) reproduction of bioeroding sponges is understudied and asexual bodies may have been overlooked in other species, and (2) clionid gemmules are an adaptation to survive life in risky environments.

CLIONIDAE d’Orbigny, 1851 (Porifera, Hadromerida): emended to CLIONAIDAE to remove homonymy with CLIONIDAE Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Pteropoda)
The Commission has ruled that the name Hindia Duncan, 1879 is conserved for a fossil demosponge genus ranging from the Ordovician to the Devonian by the suppression of two senior synonyms, the little used Sphaerolites Hinde, 1875 and Microspongia Miller and Dyer, 1878 of doubtful identity.

Comment on the proposal to emend the spelling of CLIONIDAE d'Orbigny, 1851 (Porifera, Hadromerida) to CLIONAIDAE to remove homonymy with CLIONIDAE Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca)
  We are pleased to see that the homonymy between CLIONIDAE Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Pteropoda, Gymnosomata) and CLIONIDAE d'Orbigny, 1851 (Porifera, Hadromerida) has finally been raised.
151), to whom the family name has been attributed by several authors, used CLIONIDAE, however the only included genus was Clio Linnaeus, 1767, which cannot be construed as the type genus.

And, as if I had to tell you this, they have three pairs of feeding structures known as buccal cones, which are normally retracted.
These little dudes feed almost exclusively on the small thecosome pteropod, Limacina, which I'm sure you already knew, and they are in the Class Gastropoda / Subclass Opisthobranchia / Order Gymnosomata / Family Clionidae.
Yeah, I barely have any idea what I just said, but damn, these little fellas are cute.
