Add to LightboxSea Peaches + the Solitary Hydroid are native species. The orange Sea Peach (Halocynthia pyriformis) is a tunicate, typically orange, but can be white. Tunicates draw sea water and nutrients into the body via one syphon and expel waste through the other valve. The Solitary Hydroid (Corymorpha pendula), reaching four inches tall, is related to coral, and filter feeds in a similar way with its whorl of tentacles.
