Ascidiacea They are often large and may be either solitary or colonial. Tiny pelagic, tadpole-like urochordates that build a house from mucus that they secrete. Planktonic food items are filtered as water circulates through this house. When the filters are clogged with waste, the animal secretes a new house. Appendicularia Conodontia Solitary or colonial animals whose bodies are enclosed in a cellulose-containing test. They live attached to hard surfaces in intertidal zones. Their common name derives from contractions of the body wall that cause water to squirt from incurrent and excurrent siphons when they are disturbed. Thaliacia Reset
