Tunicates son marin animales invertebrate. Pote haber un modo de vita pelagic o sessile epibenthic (in le caso del adulte ascidianes). Alcun tunicates son solitari, altere se replica per gemmation e forma colonias de zoides. Lor mobile larvas ha un notochorda e resimila un larva de rana.
Tunicates son characterisate per lor "tunica" (unic copertura externe), un cuticula constituite de proteinas e complex carbohydratos (cuje tunicina, un typo de cellulosa). In alcun species, tunica es tenue, translucido e gelatinose; in altere es spisse e rigide. Al contrario de altere exoskeleto, le tunica pote crescer con le animal.
