rmacedo2010 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Ok so I was at my Lfs today and seen what appeared to be a bad a$$ looking sponge. So then I looked a little closer and realized that is looks like a tunicate. So to make a long story short they couldn't id it and gave it to me for free? so please help if you know anything about this piece Link to comment

The Aquarist Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It's some type of colonial tunicate. Very, very hard to keep alive, feed it like crazy with filter feeding foods. http://www.reefs.com/magazine/145124-introduction-tunicates.html Link to comment

amphipod Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 This might help sorry but it will be excessively difficult get to find a specific species to match yours, that is if its a known species. http://www.ascidians.com/ascidianmenu.html Link to comment
