Is this a tunicate please? It was in a well-lit location, soft and a bit "sticky" to the touch, and ca 5cm in diameter. I found it on a reef at a depth of 1m. Thank you for your help!

Thanks!

I'll try to take better photos and compare to this species. Not good news - I just read that Paraleucilla has a predilection for polluted zones. I took the photo in a clean, Natura 2000 zone!

Bonjour,

je pense plus à une éponge, probablement Paraleucilla magna Klautau, Monteiro & Borojevic, 2004, http://doris.ffessm.fr/ref/specie/4104

Tunicate?
