You may have heard of them as sea squirts. Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Tunicates are a type of animal. You may have heard of them as sea squirts. Oh yeah! I've seen those. Isn't there one kind that's like purple and yellow and weird...? Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Oh yeah! I've seen those. Isn't there one kind that's like purple and yellow and weird...? They're all kind of weird The ones most commonly seen in the aquarium trade are blue and yellow. There's also lollypop tunicates. Google it, they look cool Link to comment

Euphyllia Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 An urchin? It wasn't anything with a skeleton. It was like a big purple ball of jelly. It was hot purple, not smokey purple like urchins are. It had some sort of yellow fringe on it... I think it was called a sea squirt but I can't find it on Google and it's not a tunicate.
