The sponge was first described in 1961 by Patricia Bergquist as Axinella lamellata,[3][4] However the name had already been used, and she renamed it in 1970 as Axinella tricalciformis.[3][1][2]
It is known from both the Chatham Islands and from waters around Tasmania, where it has been found at depths of 6-90 m. It is a sessile, filter feeder.[3]
