Tunicates differ strongly in appearance between the adult and larva. The larval form possesses more of the chordate characteristics than the adult form. Adult is sessile (and sometimes colonial), and must obtain food by siphoning sea water through its body and trapping food particles in the endostyle. ChaCha on!
