Title
Botryllus schlosseri: star ascidian
Description
Each of the 'rays' of the flower-like colony is an individual animal, embedded in a tough jelly-like, protective matrix. They are filter feeders, drawing water through the mouth into a sac-like body where particulate material is bound up with mucus and passed to the stomach. Colonies of this star ascidian can frequently be found encrusting rocks in Devon’s rock pools.
