  Is this #larvacean just leaving his #house? He looks like he's all rolled up!

  I don't think so... Wondering if he's just in the process of pumping his tail to push water through his house

  This kind of larvacean carries the house like bubble deployed from the front of their mouth.

  There is some cool looking stuff going on here, but I don't know enough to tell what!

  The crisp thing in the center is a #larcacean using its tad-pole-like body to 'pump' particulate matter into the filter/mucous house it made
