Eudistoma molle

Red-dotted compound tunicate:

Red-dotted compound tunicate (Eudistoma molle): This compound tunicate is identified by the contrast between the red zooids and their pale gelatinous tunic, as opposed to the somewhat similar and common Mushroom compound tunicate (Distaplia occidentalis), which is generally purple, pink or tan.

It is most typically found growing among surfgrass Toothed Surfgrass (Phyllospadix serrulatus).
