The tunicate, also known as the "sea squirts" are best known for there vast colors and unique shapes and sizes. The tunicate will usually stay in one place most of their life, living on rocks, towards the bottom of the ocean. Tunicates sometimes form large colonies, where they all live together, very tightly. There are a vast number of varieties of tunicates including the blue bell tunicate (''Clavelina puertosecensis''), the light bulb tunicate (''Clavelina oblonga''), the translucent tunicate (''Ciona intestinalis'') and more. Interestingly, some parts of the tunicates can be used for medical purpose to fight [[cancer]]. | The '''tunicate''', also known as the "sea squirts" are best known for there vast colors and unique shapes and sizes.
