Common name: Sea Grapes
Scientific name: Polyclinidae
The Polyclinidae family, commonly known as Sea Grapes or Colonial Tunicates, consists of marine invertebrates that form grape-like colonies. These tunicates are filter feeders, drawing in water to extract plankton and other nutrients. They are fascinating additions to the reef aquarium, contributing to its biodiversity and serving as a natural filtration system. Their care involves stable water conditions and moderate to low flow to allow efficient feeding. Polyclinidae species are generally non-aggressive and can coexist with a variety of tank mates.
