Description
A small sea creature, the vase tunicate originated in northern Europe and has spread to various waters, likely through ship traffic. Posing an invasive threat, the vase tunicate is a sedentary organism that feeds on phytoplankton and spends its life eating and reproducing. It forms colonies easily on manmade structures, boat bottoms, and can even clog metal pipes by growing inside them.
