They told me it wouldn't spread.

I started with maybe three tunicates and now I have over eight. The reason I am posting this is because I would like to know why they spread in my tank and not others.

 

[jurgenph]

Whose ‘they’? If there’s food, there’s growth.

 

[MombasaLionfish]

I don't remember who exactly but I heard some were they just die of. I really like the tunicates and was just wondering what they ate and that sort of stuff. The tank is about 10 months old.
I will get a picture fore you soon.

My Tunicate just Threw Up....A Live Hitchiker!

So...... I bought a tunicate. (Yea, I know), I thought it was an ox heart tunicate. Kinda just grey and lavender lines. A few hours after getting g it Home the color got deeper in the veins and the siphons a nice orangey color. A few days pass, colors get deeper and I’m pretty darned happy...

Wow neat thread. The hitchhiker was the tunicate in this scenario though.

Sorry it is taking so long. I am using a different camera than I usually do and I just finished cropping the photos.

I have all kinds of sponges and tunicates in my tank. I'm considering removing one because it's encroaching on a nearby coral.

 

[MombasaLionfish]

The only sponges that survived in my tank now live on a decorator crab.

I have purple and sulfur sponges. Some that are white or even a light brown. Mostly, they grow in places where corals can't, so I leave them along. The tunicates, on the other hand, don't care and will grow wherever they can!

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

I'll try to post some sponge and tunicate pictures when I get home this evening (assuming I remember!).

He’s a beauty! I’d love one but I’m nervous since I have Pygmy gobies and stuff
