HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Pyrosoma
Sorry, No Picture! Pyrosoma is a colony of sea-squirts. These sea-squirts join together and create free-swimming colonies ranging in size from 10 cm to several meters in length. The sea-squirt colony has a cylindrical shape, often comprised of several thousand individual sea-squirts. These individual sea-squirts are embedded in a rough jelly for adhesion. The most fascinating aspect about pyrosoma is its luminescent quality. It is believed that these simple animals are related to the earliest vertebrates. [BM] {FW}
