@mbari_news: Behold Pyrosoma atlanticum 🤩⁠ ⁠ Pyrosomes are colonial tunicates made up of thousands of individuals known as zooids. Each zooid is housed in the common gelatinous tunic that makes up the larger cylindrical “body” of the pyrosome. Zooids filter phytoplankton through branchial baskets by creating feeding currents through the tunic. Although each zooid is only a couple of millimeters in size, pyrosomes can reach up to several meters in length. #MBARI #DeepSeaTok #ocean #fyp

But their remains have been found as deep as 4,000 meters (13,120 feet), where they provide food for a variety of deep-sea animals.
