Common name: Sea Tulips
Scientific name: Polycitoridae
Polycitoridae, commonly known as Sea Tulips, is a family of ascidians or sea squirts found in various marine environments. These sessile invertebrates are filter feeders, using their siphons to draw in water and extract plankton and other nutrients. They are known for their colorful, tulip-like appearance and can add a unique aesthetic to a reef aquarium. However, they require stable water conditions and are sensitive to changes in water quality. They are not aggressive and can coexist with a variety of other marine organisms, making them suitable for community tanks.
