DESCRIPTION:Ascidians are members of the subphylum Urochordata\, a sub
 set of the Phylum Chordata. Chordate features - notochord\, nerve cord
  and post-anal tail - are present only in the larval stage. When the l
 arva\, or tadpole settles\, it absorbs these parts and metamorphoses i
 nto a tail-less\, spine-less sessile adult. Ascidians are found all ov
 er the world\, usually in shallow water with salinities over 2.5%. Whi
 le members of the Thaliacea and Larvacea swim freely like plankton\, s
 ea squirts are sessile animals attached to substratum such as rocks an
 d shells.
