Tunicates info

I will soon have these in a 75 gallon maine tank:
*3 skunk cleaner shrimp
*1 Sexy shrimp
*1 Randalls pistol shrimp
*1 flaming prawn goby to pair with the pistol
*1 blue spotted jawfish
*1 pair of B&W ocellaris clownfish
I am thinking on getting tunicates. Does anyone have any info on them? Are they really cool?

PS I am getting the tank used and the owner kept anemones and corals so I know the lighting is good

 

I would wait until your tank matures some before attempting one.

 

oh sorry I meant to say I woulnt be getting one right away
Probably 4-6 months would that be okay

 

After a year would be better. From the info I found it sounds like they draw some if not most there nutrition from the sand bed. Your sand bed will take some time to mature enough to support an animal like that.

 

Oh okay I will save room
Are they cool

 

Tunicates don't take from the sand bed. They are filter feeders of some sort. Here is a picture of mine. It just picks up food from the water.

 

ha they are cool would you recommend them

 

I have had mine two months with no problems. Mine has been easy to care for I don't target feed it to often and it is doing great. I would recommend getting one if you like it. Wait until your tank has been up and stable for 3 to 6 months minimum.

 

Right you are. Guess that's what I get for believing a web site. Here's a more reputable source than the first I found with tons of info:

Coral Science - Tunicates
