Plural of ascidian; multiple sea squirts or sac-like marine animals that filter feed by drawing water through their bodies.
From Latin 'ascidium' plus plural ending '-ans,' referring to multiple members of this marine animal group.
Some ascidians live in colonies where thousands of individuals share a single opening for water to exit—it's like an underwater apartment building where neighbors literally share the front door!
