If it evolved to have legs and walk around, along with bio-luminescent crystals...

So this is an animal, right? For some reasons, corals and other "sedentary animals" confuse the hell out of me.

Pyura chilensis is in Class Ascidiacea, which are called sea squirts. Ernst Haeckel illustrated their diversity in this artwork:

Most of those things in that picture look like very ornate pottery or buttons.

Also, that thing is cool!!! Nature is so amazing. I wonder what purpose it serves, besides to be eaten by locals? It can't even move or anything. Very interesting!

So you say you want a pet rock? If that's so, I think I have one to sell you. And then I will open a business. :P
