Thought I'd share a photo of my most colorful tunicate, a fuschia colored one that came on a colony of zoas. I recently detached it and glued it to the zoa garden rock on it's own to get a better view of it. Very cool creature, the openings will retract and it looks a bit like a blackish piece of sponge when it does. But when open it is quite pretty. This shot of it makes it look quite large when it is only about 1/4" long.

Those are awesome, will they propogate on their own?

You say they are not sponges right? Do they take special care or spot feeding? How big can they get?
