Tunicates for Dummys

[dhanking]

What are some tunicates that are easy to keep? I heard that some tunicates were photosynthetic? Are these actually a lot easier to keep or not so much? I am interested in getting at least one species of tunicate to put in the tank and I realize that many need a lot of food every single day but are there any that don’t need so much food? (And are not so picky about water parameters)

LiveAquaria has tunicates available right now. I can only assume that they are not too challenging to keep. The LA care guides are reliable. I picked up two myself. (I'm encouraged by the presence of a random tunicate here & there already in my tank. They must have sprung up from the existing live rock).

(I honestly don't think they'll look as pretty as the main reference photo though).
