I had got these purple tunicates and i thought they died cuz they all tore apart, but now i have a bunch all over my tank. They are pretty cool.

oh i have those, mine shrunk up i thought they were corals though (softies) thats what the LFS told me! they are still alive and started coming out like that recently, like they originally were. How do you take care of yours? I want mine to come back looking like that they seem to want more light...

Ryan, tunicates are not photosynthetic so they don't need any sort of light. Some say they eat phytoplankton, others say bacteria. Me, I couldn't say either or, but I had a rather large brown one that lived for about a year and a half before a rather angry mantis decieded to go on a rampage over a minnow (mummichog) LOL It was pretty funny, alot of damage done to the tank though. Just watch them closley and try and feed with phyto every once in a while.

lemme know how they do!
