Seasquirts
Seasquirts are shaped like a flower and are all brilliant types of colours. They mostly eat plankton and their own brain! They don’t have any legs because they stay on the same spot. They are also known as Tunicates. Most Seasquirts are hermaphrodites!
They have two openings in their body cavaty: an in-current and an ex-current siphon.
Adults spend their lives attached to one spot on underwater structures like pilings on a wharf, sucking in water through one siphon, filtering small plants to eat, then squirts the water out through another siphon.
Seasquirts live in the subtidal zone and they normally clean other animals with their suckers.
