It is shown that the demosponge Corallistes sp. (Tetractinomorpha, Lithistida, Corallistidae) collected in the Coral Sea, contains corallistin A ( 1 ), the second example, of a free porphyrin from a living organism. The compound proved to be active against the Kb cell line. In contrast with the geoporphyrins which do not bear any O‐atom corallistin A ( 1 ) carries two carboxylic groups.
