Thalia sibogae [Thalia sibogae]
Description
Thalia sibogae is a delicate, pelagic tunicate that can look like a small, clear-bodied organism floating through the blue. Divers may observe it as a faint silhouette that occasionally changes position as it propels itself. Because it’s planktonic, sightings are often tied to currents, seasonality, and times when plankton is abundant.
