Pyura Rapaformis
''Pyura'' is a large genus of Sessility (zoology), sessile ascidiacea, ascidians that live in coastal waters at depths of up to 80 m (260 feet). Like all ascidians, ''Pyura'' are filter feeders. A few species, including Pyura chilensis are commercially fished. Species Species in this genus include * ''Pyura abradata'' (Kott, 1985) * ''Pyura ambonensis'' (Millar, 1975) * ''Pyura antillarum'' (Van Name, 1921) * ''Pyura arenosa'' (Herdman, 1882) * ''Pyura aripuensis'' (Herdman, 1906) * ''Pyura australis'' (Quoy & Gaimard, 1834) * ''Pyura baliensis'' (Millar, 1975) * ''Pyura bouvetensis'' (Wilhelm Michaelsen, Michaelsen, 1904) * ''Pyura breviramosa'' (Sluiter, 1904) * ''Pyura cadamostoi'' (Monniot, 1994) * ''Pyura camranica'' (Maria Vorontsova (botanist), Vorontsova & Cole, 1995) * ''Pyura cancellata'' (Brewin, 1946) * ''Pyura capensis'' (Hartmeyer) * ''Pyura carnea'' (Brewin, 1948) * ''Pyura chilensis'' (Molina, 1782) * ''Pyura columna'' (Monniot & Monniot, 1991) * ''Pyur ...

Pyura Spinifera
''Pyura spinifera'', commonly called the sea tulip, is a species of sessile ascidian that lives in coastal waters at depths of up to 80 m (260 feet). As with almost all other ascidians, sea tulips are filter feeders. The common name comes from the organism's appearance - that of a knobbly 'bulb' or flower attached to a long stalk. Sea tulips come in a variety of colours, including white, pink, yellow, orange, and purple. The coloration of sea tulips depends upon their association with a symbiotic sponge Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera (; meaning 'pore bearer'), are a basal animal clade as a sister of the diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate throug ... that covers their surface.
