| Unidentified photographer Mucous Larvacean House 2009, 25 August Colour image Neptune Canada, University of Victoria Creative Commons license LL/38132 Abandoned larvacean "house" observed at 135m in the water column above our vertical profiler system, 25 August 2009. The structures in the upper right portion appear to be the coarse filters that it uses to block out large material. Once the house becomes clogged, the larvacean swims out and constructs a new one.
