Info

Ecteinascidia turbinata Herdman, 1880

Ecteinascidia turbinata is a colonial sea squirt. The individual zooids can grow to a height of 2.5 cm and are shaped like wide-necked bottles. Colonies can reach a width of 14 cm.

It primarily grows on the submerged roots of mangroves, its also found growing on rocks, jetties, the black coral (Antipathes caribbeana), floating debris and among seagrasses.

Ecteinascidia turbinata is a filter feeder.

The flatworm Prostheceraeus crozieri is the main predator.

The cancer drug trabectedin is isolated from E. turbinata.
