Sea tulip is the common name of a few species of sessile ascidians (sea squirts) in the genus Pyura that live in coastal waters at depths of up to 80 m (260 feet). Like all ascidians, sea tulips are filter feeders. Their common name comes from their appearance - that of a knobbly 'bulb' or flower attached to a long stalk. Sea Tulips come in a variety of colours, including white, pink, yellow, orange, and purple. The colouration of sea tulips depends upon their association with a symbiotic sponge that covers their surface. Despite their common name, sea tulips are animals and not plants.
