The new species Spongia (Heterofibria) sucrensis sp. nov, that was collected in breakwaters in the municipality of Coveñas, department of Sucre (Colombian Caribbean) is described. This is a massive sponge, with erect and creeping lobes or branches; skeleton of ascending primary fibers with inclusions of foreign material; secondary and pseudo tertiary fiber meshes without inclusions dominate the skeleton; lighter pseudo tertiary fibers connected to the other fiber types or forming a reticulum within secondary fibers meshes. This finding constitutes the first record and description of a species of the subgenus Heterofibria for Colombia and the Caribbean, which raises to nine the species number of the genus for the Caribbean and three for Colombia.
