(Grube, 1864)
This solitary species was first described by (Grube, 1864), primarily based on specimens from the Adriatic Sea, the Naples region, and the Côte d'Azur.
Later, on the French Mediterranean coast west of the Côte d'Azur, Lacaze-Duthiers (Harant, 1927; Ramesh and Vernieres, 1933) on the French Mediterranean coast west of the Côte d'Azur, which do not fully correspond to the Adriatic type; these animals reached only 8 cm in size, whereas those from the Adriatic reached up to 15 cm.
The sea squirt is parasitized by the copepod Botachus cylindratus Thorell, 1859
Doropygella psyllus (Thorell, 1859).
Both forms are “naked,” i.e., without epibionts, and inhabit hard substrates, sandy bottoms, muddy bottoms, mussels, and individual stones down to greater depths.
