Info

Clavelina viola can, albeit extremely rarely, accidentally enter a domestic saltwater aquarium on coral specimens / live rock.

However, care in a seawater tank requires special attention when feeding.
If you want to keep this. Sea squirts require numerous daily feedings of live and / or preserved phytoplankton / zooplankton from the trade or animal and plant powders that form suspended matter in the main water.
Proper placement of the sea squirt is also very important, in general they prefer low light and do better with indirect light and gentle water movement.

Apart from the fact that Clavelina viola it is difficult to care for, it has a very short life span, usually about a year and sometimes far less.
Only those keepers willing to provide sophisticated care should attempt to keep it in closed systems.
