7 spp of clionid sponges from Tunisian shallow-water habitats are described and illustrated: Cliona celata, C. viridis, C. nigricans, C. carteri, C. schmidti, C. vastifica and Cliothosa hancocki. 2 of these (Cliona celata and C. carteri) have not previously been reported from Tunisia. Cliona nigricans is considered a distinct sp and not a mere growth form of C. viridis.
