In Reply to: Cunji (Sea Squirts). How do you care for them? Any ideas? posted by SilverSeahorse on February 01, 2003 at 02:17:42:
:I just bought some new live rock for my new aquarium. I have discovered that it has 2 cunji or seasquirts on it. I was just wondering if there is anything special I have to do to care for them? So far I have just been watching them open and close. They are kinda neat!
:Thanks!!
They are kinda neat, but just like the fellow with the orange sea rod, they too are found in deeper waters. There are some 80 species of sea squirt, they are filter feeders, dissolved and fine particulate organic matter, bacteria, photosynthetic. Years ago i look into it if i`ll be able to maintain a sea squirt, and the bottom line is, no matter what you read you not be able to maintain them for long, im sorry to say, but you will need a special tank for them, with very low lighting and cooler water, and understand, this also means none the light from the day hours, its hard to explain this, but these marine animals require little to no lighting. Not all reef life can be maintain in an home aquarium.
