Is there a way that I can send you a photo of what I think is the same tunicate that I found washed up here in WA? Maybe I'll just add it to my page and you can look at it there. Gives views of the side of the colony.
(oops, I meant tunicates)
Ranger Hope, please excuse my delayed response. I, too, first thought Sponge but could not find a match for this area. Thank you for the lead on truncates; I will be looking into the possibilities.
At first I thought Sponge, but from the larger photo I'd say tunicate. They are often invasive.
