Families

Pleurogona is an order of tunicates which is no longer in use as it contains the same families as Stolidobranchia.[1]

One of the more invasive species of this order is the "stalked (or leathery or solitary) sea squirt" Styela clava .[2][3][4] Other invasive genera include the "chain sea squirts" or "chain tunicates" of the genus Botrylloides [5][6] and the "golden star tunicate" Botryllus schlosseri .[7]
