Summary ²

Didemnum vexillum, the carpet sea squirt, is a species of colonial tunicate in the family Didemnidae. Believed to be native to the waters around Japan, it has been reported as an invasive species in a number of places in Europe, North America and New Zealand. It is sometimes given the nickname "D. vex" because of the vexing way in which it dominates marine ecosystems when introduced into new locations.
