Ascidiella scabra

The Ascidiella scabra is a rather robust, grey sea squirt, usually attached on its side. The animal is often found in harbours, on ropes, tires and on pontoons. When you lift it out of the water, it will squirt out water, living up to its name. Ascidiella scabra lives everywhere in the delta region and is also found in the harbours on the Wadden Sea.
