Scientific name: Trididemnum
Trididemnum is a genus of colonial tunicates often found encrusting on rocks and coral reefs. These tunicates are known for their vibrant colors and can add a unique aesthetic to a reef aquarium.

Trididemnum species are generally hardy and can be beneficial for water quality, but they may overgrow other sessile organisms if not managed.
