You can usually find tunicates in marine environments, attached to a rock, and they can grow about 1 to 12 centimeters in length. Not all tunicates are the same color either. There colors are among a vast array of the color scale, they can be dull green, all the way up to bright colors.

== | ==Tunicate Fossils== | ||
It's hard to find a full tunicate fossil, since its body is hard to keep in the same shape. That's why there aren't really many tunicate fossils that have been recorded. Sometimes, the spicules that come off of the Tunicate are found, and recorded as fossils, but that is the most likely way they can ever determine if there were tunicates far back. Since sponges also have spicules on their bodies, it is sometimes a confusion to whether or not the spicule has come from a tunicate or a sponge. The Yarnemia, has been recorded as a tunicate fossil, but it is still unknown. [http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/chordata/urochordata.html] | |||
