sea squirt
A sea squirt is a marine invertebrate with a sack-like body structure, also known as tunicates. It is part of the subphylum Tunicata within the phylum Chordata. The name 'sea squirt' is derived from the way these animals contract their bodies to eject a stream of water when they are threatened. They are known for their unique life cycle, where they start life as mobile tadpole-like larvae and eventually settle on the seafloor to grow into immobile adults.
