Pyura Baliensis
''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'' (Beryl Brewin, Brewin, 1946) * ''Pyura capensis'' (Hartmeyer) * ''Pyura carnea'' (Beryl Brewin, Brewin, 1948) * ''Pyura chilensis'' (Molina, 1782) * ''Pyura columna'' (M ...

Pyura Spinifera
''Pyura spinifera'', commonly called the sea tulip, is a species of Sessility (zoology), sessile ascidiacea, 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 sea sponge, sponge that covers their surface. References WoRMS External links Wildlife of Sydney - Sea Tulip
