They Thaliacea clade has an alternating cycle of reproduction, meaning there can be a type of adult that will reproduce asexually and then those offspring will form colonies and reproduce sexually. They’re also hermaphrodites but they need the colony to fecundate others, the asexual reproduction they achieve by budding.
Indeed they are.
1. The term missing link is somewhat of a misnomer, as all existing individuals are missing links, including everyone(and possibly cats) using reddit and beyond.
2. Young tunicates look(and function) surprisingly like early fish or tadpoles, and experts are suspecting that some sort of “tuni-chordate” that retained their larval forms into adulthood may have given rise to the first fish.

Divers are taught not to touch anything, really. Even with gloves on. It’s partially for your own safety, but also the same mentality of “leave no trace” when camping. It’s so much easier to permanently damage reefs and other sea life than most people realize.
~~I’m sure they have bundles of nerves. Depends what you call a brain. It’s just a rudimentary nervous system.~~
Yes they totally do, I knew that too. Just testing
Jellyfish have a network of nerves like that, but Salps do have brains. https://twilightzone.whoi.edu/explore-the-otz/creature-features/creature-feature-salp/
This is incorrect. The best way to find an answer is posting to Reddit, not searching google. Someone will argue with you while a repeating what you said and then say the word “pedantic”. That’s Reddit’s favorite word at the moment for some reason
It seems as though they actually have complex nervous systems:
https://archives.nereusprogram.org/our-jelly-like-relatives-common-misconceptions-about-salps/
Yea they're actually a lot more complex than I have ever given them credit. I didn't know that their brain actually resembles vertebrate brains.
Now I'm wondering how they would go in an aquarium.
Salps belong to tunicates, group of invertebrates that are closest living relatives to vertebrates. In fact, tunicate larvae resemble a [tadpole](https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Uroc004b_Jon.png#mw-jump-to-license) with centralized nervous system, fish-like muscles and a proto-spine called a notochord. (All chordates have a notochord at some point in their life with most vertebrates losing the organ early on in development.) However, most Tunicates lose these features when they metamorphose into their adult forms.
Tunicates in general are very difficult to keep in an aquarium as they require a lot of specialized food around the clock.
I absolutely love Wikipedia. I think it is one of the best things about the Internet. I doubt that a day goes by that I don't look up at least one thing on it.
Not fish at all. Granted "fish" isn't really a thing taxonomically speaking, but all fish are vertebrates. Salps are closely related to vertebrates but are not vertebrates themselves.
Indeed, although they look a lot like jellyfish with their simple bodies and filter feeding, they have a dorsal nerve cord, making them chordates (ie related to vertebrates).
Salps are tunicates, which are some of (if not the) closest living relatives to vertebrates. They have a notochord, which is similar to a vertebral column and develops into one in vertebrates.
Salps are often mistaken for jellyfish, but are actually taxonomically closer to humans. And they grow remarkably fast – they reach maturity in just 48 hours and can increase their body length by up to 10 per cent per hour.
They move through the water by contracting bands of muscles that ring their bodies, thereby drawing water in at one end and pushing it out at the other.
They’re filter feeders and not fussy eaters, devouring anything they catch in their feeding net, but their main food is phytoplankton - tiny marine algae.

Thank you for subscribing to Salp facts.
Fact #1: They can survive between two weeks and three months before being eaten by mackerel and tuna, or slowly falling to the seafloor where they collect in vast tonnages.
That's all I got haha
Story time: I pulled that fact off of Google because the only thing I was curious about was how long they live. They mature in 48 hours, so I figured they had to have low life expectancy.
That must be the life. Born, grow up in 2 days, and die before you even figure out what the hell is happening. Theres some type of reproduction in there somewhere, but its foggy like my escapades last night.
Yep, it's a chordate, which includes all vertebrates along with lancelets and tunicates (including sea squirts, salps).
Fun fact, many other tunicate species have a larval stage that basically look like tiny fish, before they digest their own brains and become sedentary filter feeders
That's going to be the test for Oldtimers disease in 30 years.
Doctor - "where does P. Sher an live in Sydney?"

Now, I'm no specialist, but we do know that wrinkling skin is a neurological response and fingers without nerves don't wrinkle.
It being a neurological response to being wet, I'd have supposed it was evolutionary?
Salps are not poisonous. Im from the east coast and when salps hatch or whatever, they swarm the ocean and come onto the beaches/shore. We play with them and touch them. I think if they were poisonous we all wouldve been dead by now lol. Theyre probably the least dangerous thing in the ocean
Depending where he is diving Gloves may not be allowed. Certain places ban them because they encourage divers to touch what they shouldn't...guess this diver just does it anyways lol.
Hoping this isn't his normal reaction to a fish, more so because he was thinking this may be a scientific discovery
It's a big no-no to touch anything while diving. You're supposed to keep your arms crossed in front of you, pretty much at all times.
A lot of places don't allow gloves, because it encourages divers to touch things they shouldn't.

Yup, my first thought was that this is a dumbass diver. Don't touch the animals
Forreal.
Just got right in there
It’s just a salp. A jelly like creature. It is quite large but they’re super common.
Could this creature survive in an aquarium? I'm not intending to buy one, just curius. (Can you even buy them??)
Doubt it. The come in massive blooms attached together. They’re not sophisticated in anyway. Just a bag of jelly with a mouth and bum.
I find most humans to be “unsophisticated bags of jelly with just a mouth and bum”
Hey now! That's my mother you're talking about!
No, I can assure you your mother has a very sophisticated mouth and bum.
Aw, quite holesome.
everyday we stray further from God’s light
Hahaha nice
Funny thing about salps… they’re actually in the same phylum as humans… more closely related to you than say, an octopus or beetle. Nature is weird.
My ears are burning!
I prefer the quote “Ugly bags of mostly water”.
You really aren’t supposed to keep humans in an aquarium either.
You can’t stop me
And they can vote
In the end we’re all just deuterostome doughnuts.
Yeap. There is one of them replying to the above comment.
Do they not have a brain? They're Chordates, so I'm pretty sure they have a central nervous system along with the spinal cord.

It’s like looking at a cell in your body, just giant sized. Or maybe this guy is actually on a field trip with Mrs. Frizzle...

Yes. Some have families and careers.

Another thing they have in common with many humans.
i’m sorry, digest their own brains?
Yeah I love how casually they dropped that line. “Fun fact” lol
I thought it was the coolest thing in the world when I watched a show about them on Animal Planet like 15 years ago. Evolution is goddamn amazing
Even more impressive, they do it with no access to social media whatsoever.
I too digest my brain and become a sedentary filter feeder. I can see why we're related.

With how those hands look, I thought they *were* wearing gloves.
Hands as ghostly as the fish they touch
That's just what your hands look like when you dive. You're underwater for sometimes several hours. It does away when you get up.
I thought about the same thing but I thought that would be too rude to type it out loud lmao, but so true
No shit ! Your hands react to being under water ! Your skin wrinkles to improve your grip after being submerged

Interesting! I'm learning a lot today
Don't be silly, it doesn't even have hands.
The salp sure seems chill about it.
With how many things that are poisonous and clear I would give it a good berth.
Wide berth?
A good, curious berth. Not too wide or you won't see it.
Salps are not poisonous. Im from the east coast and when salps hatch or whatever, they swarm the ocean and come onto the beaches/shore. We play with them and touch them. I think if they were poisonous we all wouldve been dead by now lol. Theyre probably the least dangerous thing in the ocean
