Tunicate: Difference between revisions

What it feeds on- The tunicate mostly searches for plankton. When the tunicate catches the plankton, it is caught in the tunicate's pharynx, which then goes down through the esophogus. Then, the waste of their food is directed out of the anus, into the water.

You can usually find tunicates in marine environments, attached to a rock, and they can grow about one to twelve centimeters in length. Not all tunicates are the same color either. Their colors are among a vast array of the color scale, they can be dull green, all the way up to bright colors. [http://academics.smcvt.edu/dfacey/AquaticBiology/Coastal%20Pages/Tunicates.html]

Tunicates can form large colonies, or simply live by themeselves. The colonies can be one meter or larger in length. Most of them are closer to the edges of oceans, than found way in the depths of the oceans. Some have been recorded though, to be seen in two-hundred meters deep of water. They aren't always shaped evenly either; they usually are shaped irregulalry or spherically. [http://academics.smcvt.edu/dfacey/AquaticBiology/Coastal%20Pages/Tunicates.html]
