  And inside it it has a bunch of little critters. I still have to find what they might be! Posted 7 years ago

    I once heard in a marine documentary that body openings (mouth and anal) are to be carefully protected in the seas, before you know it, entire families are moving in. Posted 7 years ago

The Red-throated Ascidian

The solitary ascidian "Herdmania momus" is one of the most commonly encountered species of ascidians. While commonly referred to simply as "sea squirts", this name is ambiguous, as it can refer to any member of the sub-phylum Tunicata.
