Ascidiacea (commonly known as the
ascidians) is an
order in the
Urochordata subphylum of sac-like marine filter feeders. They are characterized by a tough outer "tunic" made of the
polysaccharide tunicin whilst other tunicates are much less robust. Whilst adults are sessile (immobile), larvae resemble
tadpoles and swim up and down in their marine environment.
