Soleneiscus radovani is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Dendyidae, and was first described in 1999 by Gert Wörheide and John Hooper.[3][1] The species epithet, radovani, honours Radovan Borojevic for "his substantial and pioneering achievements in calcarean taxonomy".[1]

It is found in Queensland coastal waters,[2] where it occurs in waters with surface temperatures of 20 to 30 °C.[4]
