Sea Squirts

I am looking for Information on Sea Squirts, what does it take to keep them?

I am looking to set up a filter system like Steve Tyree and am interested in how to keep the sea squirts alive

Sea squirts are filter feeders and belong to the phylum Chordata because the larval stage has a notochord. They will filter organics out of the water column. In Steve's case he uses ascidians and poriferans in place of foam fractination to remove organics from the water column. He has acess to a wide variety of specimens at local distributors. They can often be found on uncured live rock.

Thanks for the reply, I have been looking at the kit Steve sells, maybe that is the best way to go
