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. Quote:

Unless you have a small aquarium with lots of live rock and feed phyto/zoo to the point that the water is coloured or are a marine scientist studying this speices, do not attempt to keep these as they will starve to death.

forget about buying them like has been said. in a good set up they will occure naturaly, maybe not the type you pictured but you will get sponges and tunicates eventualy.

In deed...I do have a little pink one that is about 3/4" that appeared not so long ago and it has set itself where I have very strong current and absolutely no light doing there. It is a little pink tunicate, not sure where it comes from.
Each time I remove that rock for cleaning I think it's going to die being exposed to air but it survive. I wish I could relocate it though! lol! Quote:
