PAINTED TUNICATE : Clavelina picta


PAINTED TUNICATE
: Clavelina picta

- The tunicates are very similar to sea squirts. They take water in through a large opening where nutrients are filtered out. The water is then expelled through another opening. Painted tunicates are about 3/4 inch long and commonly grow in colonies. They are found in translucent red, purple, and yellow colors.
