Amazing underwater world of Palau.
Blue Striped Tunicate Rhopalaea circula occurs in the Western Central Pacific in a depth range from 6-18m. Tunicates do not have backbones, but they are vertebrates, why? At some point in their life cycle, they have a tail, a central nerve cord, a pharyngeal gill cleft and a notochord. Often mistaken for sponges, it's simple to test: Tunicates have two siphons and when disturbed, they can rapidly close them.
