Crambeidae is a family of marine demosponges.[http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=169016World Register of Marine Species]

Identification of members of this family of sponges is based on microscopic examination of the spicules in their skeleton. The megascleres consist of peripheral thinner subtylostyles and thicker choanosomal styles while the microscleres are exclusively anchorate chelae.{{Cite web|url=http://species-identification.org/species.php?species_group=sponges&id=88&menuentry=groepen|title=Marine Species Identification Portal : Family Crambeidae}}{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OQoxzqjQXWEC&pg=PA520|title=Systema Porifera| isbn=9780306472602|last1=Hooper|first1=John N.
