The sponge was first described in 1967 by Patricia Bergquist and Catherine Tizard as Pseudaxinyssa stipitata,[3][2][1] but was assigned to the new genus, Cymbastela, in 1992 by John Hooper and Patricia Bergquist.[1][3][4]
It is found in Australia's coastal waters, from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the north west coasts of Western Australia. It is a sessile filter-feeder, found generally in intertidal waters on coral reefs at depths up to 19 m.[3]
