Disgusting ! The other very uncool thing about some deuterostome is that they form their body by passing their future head through their ass-hole during gastrulation. Disgusting !

I must be very careful in the future to be more precise. Technically edible, but somehow I'm thinking I would not be able to eat much of it, even with/after a bottle of cheongju. Hmmm.

cleavage is spiral

Only in lophotrochozoans. Ecdysozoan cleavage is radial (…when it isn’t centrolecithal in the first place).

As for the tunicates, I just wish they were edible, maybe then we could clear some of the nasty, invasive tunicates from the sound. Vast carpets of them.... unlike the Salps these tunicates don't even serve as home for <i>Phronima</i> or similar crustaceans or other protosomes.
