If they survive the trip to you, then good luck. Very difficult if not impossible to keep for any extended period of time even if you know what you're doing. I would have avoided these.

hmmmmmmm

+1 The chance of long term ( or even short term ) success is very small. Cool animal though.

Not sure what you interpret difficult as, but if you have to ask about care, that normally means you're not prepared to care for it. I'm only saying this so that in the future if someone says something is difficult to sustain, you do the research beforehand and most likely will save you money (and the animals life).

They're beautiful critters, non-photosynthetic, filter feeders. High flow would be a probable requirement, however, since the survival rate is abysmal it's apparent there aren't too many authorities on this species.

Best of luck, I hope you're the one to change perception,

Its also difficult to win the lottery, but not impossible. I wouldn't bet on winning though.

very good call. if you are near bay ridge and want to try a hand at some other animal (coral) for being responsible, shoot me a pm, i will hook you up with something cool and easier to keep than a tunicate.
