Those tunicates are incredibly hard to keep. They slowly starve in aquarium and I have never seen anyone keep them for long.
I tried 2 and although I feed my tank heavily with all sort of filter feeder food like fauna marin, reefroid, coral frenzy, zooplankton and phytoplankton, they still died in a few months. They get black and die.
They need a certain orientation to the current, and they need a constant amount of iodine because without it they cannot produce the mucus they need to absorb nutriments.
REally awesome but you slowly watch them die.
