Default Anyone with tunicates out there???

I have a few hitchhiking tunicates that came with my corals. I read up on them a little on wetwebmedia, and they are supposedly quite toxic when they die and they normally don't live too long. Too bad, I think they are the coolest things in my tank. I have a pair on my star polyp. The polyps are starting to spread onto them. Then I noticed one (I think it is one, I guess I will find out if it isn't) on my new mushrooms.

I have a grape tunicate thats a really weird blue color, i hear they are toxic as well but so far so good, there is one aiptasia on the same rock that ate a head, it didnt die but its now the same colour as the grape.
