Wow I have never seen anything like that before!!!

Do they move??

But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

To me, you will be unique in all the world.

To you, I shall be unique in all the world...

You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

yeap i never seen anything like those before.

those below looks like small yumas to me.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

if its from the ascidiacea class.

Don't panic.

Yes, they are ascidians. . . commonly known as green scale tunicates.

Harmless but could grow and colonise surrounding areas given the right conditions.

Look appealling with its irredescence blue.

However' not easy to sustain in aquarium though. Need very strong lightings, high flow and continuous nutrient uptake.

You picked it up from the beach . . .recollect the habitat it was anchored on and that will give you an idea of its requirements :idea:

cheers :)
