Bound together

 
Yellow social tunicate (Perophora annectens) photographed in the low intertidal zone on 29 May 2021.  Although it's hard to tell, all of these zooids (each yellow blob) is connected via a stolon or runner that extends across the substrate.  The smallest zooids in this photo are new buds that arise from the stolon.
