Ecteinascidia turbinata Herdman, 1880
Stations: AM 01; AM 21 (MNHN P2 ECT 113)
Common in shallow tropical and subtropical habitats, E. turbinata is recorded from both the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. It is easily recognised by its shape in bunches resembling grapes and its orange colour. Its anatomy seems constant everywhere. This species differs from other species of Ecteinascidia inhabiting the same region: E. conklini Berrill, 1932 , E minuta (Berrill 1932) and E. s tyeloides by the shape of the siphons and the gut loop described in detail by Goodbody and Cole (2006).
