Description
Orange sheath tunicate (Botrylloides violaceus) is a type of "sea squirt," a tiny invertebrate filter feeding organism. The orange sheath tunicate forms colonies on rocks and other solid substrates in the northern Pacific Ocean, including ship docks in the San Francisco bay area where it is considered an invasive species. This species is capable of regenerating all its body tissues.
