I really love tunicates- and I see a bunch online however, I keep a cool water tank and since most tunicates that I like are cold water, anyone know where to get them or just any of your own tunicates to show me?
Here are some of my favorites:

Ascidia paratropa

these are mostly cold water species, but they are still really cool, and unfortunately not sold anywhere, (but I would be VERY glad to be told otherwise) but they are still really nice.
 
Only ways to really get these
1. Buy ocean live rock to get them as hitchhikers, TBS liverock and Gulf live rock are good suppliers(note: the species on these rocks would be tropical)
2.Gulf of Maine inc. They sell coldwater stuff including tunicates like gold star tunicates

3.Get them yourself, check local laws of course but you can probably find some.

They're washing up on the beaches big time right now in Southern California, but they're cold water and probably wouldn't make it in a reef tank.
