It looked like giant worm floating on the sea surface. I had observed something similar a few days earlier, entwined in a mass of floating eelgrass. The creature was about 3\/4 inch wide, and about 10 inches long with a firm rubbery texture. It was mostly burgundy with ridges on the upper surface (See Figure 1). I picked it up and examined it closely with a magnifying glass. Upon closer inspection, I realized this was not a worm at all \u2014 it is an organism called a colonial tunicate.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-post__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/?p=827\" aria-label=\"Read more about Insidious Ascidians\" tabindex=\"-1\" >\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Aqua Blog The Aqua Blog A place for stories and articles related to the quality of our water<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10"}],"version-history":[{"count":43,"href":"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":972,"href":"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10\/revisions\/972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfshellsforhabitat.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
