How to target feed Sea squirt?

[Jun Hong]

I just bought a color seasquirt similar to the photo shown in SeaSquirt

Thinking of target feed it with live plankton so wish to know which of its two openings is for intake and which is for exhaust?

Any reefer has able to keep this interesting creature thrive in their tank?

Hmmm...Here's mine. Colored up from a grey color. The top opening is the intake. The side opening is the output. I don't target feed. I feed bioplankton to my whole tank.

do they need to be fed? i thought they are filter feeders and will eat when u feed your fishes.

They feed on phytoplankton. Nutrients alone won't sustain them for long.

Hi, Fuel,

You have posted picture of your purple color sea squirt last time! Are they feeding well?

I also notice the sea squirt forms a thin transparent coating? Is it normal? Last time you have mentioned you are trying to help it to remove its coating, have you done so?

[FuEl]

Hmmm...Ya..It's still doing well. Noticed something weird though..they only turn yellow after they shed their mucus coat. After awhile they will turn back to a little greyish hue. Anyway, it's best that you help them remove their mucus coating if you do not have enough current that would help them shed. Most likely the removal of mucus coat has to do with the removal of particulate matter that has begun to settle on them.

Do you meant that the yelllow sea squirt shown in the photo that you attached here is the same purple one shown in the photo you posted previously (in the member tanks specs)???
