Looking at more species of Clavelina it’s correct I think I just stopped wend I saw the spine looking things on the tunicate. Either way they are really cool organisms and the reason I got them, at list they not hydroids as I first tough :)
They on my list to, they look crazy wend covering live rock
If you find any keep me in the loop and I’ll do likewise! I’m always looking for stuff.
I haven't seen the video, but I know a few Botrylloides spp. (particularly Botrylloides leachii) and some Botryllus spp. are called Tiger Sponges despite being tunicates. I've also seen the Australian Spider Sponge (Clathria spp. with white parasitic zoanthids) called a Tiger Sponge. The Botrylloides and Botryllus are likely going to be hard to come by because several of their species are invasive. (If I see any, I'll try to remember to post here.)
Awesome. Is this in your automatic phyto system?It had some bad days although it come back to life once I’ve started adding silica and carbohydrates to the system, picture taken last week, it doubled in size also since picking it up from LFS
Yes it is, the system is doing well with all types of weird stuff, I use carbohydrates from phytoplankton and supplement with reef actif that is just carbohydrates extracted from algae.
Yeah, these are actually colonial tunicates (sea squirt is one name for solitary tunicates) - I'll let Tidal Gardens answer the question on difficulty, but I'd imagine it's not very difficult based on the genus its from.
