General
Megalodicopia hians
is a solitary ascidian inhabiting the bathyal/ abyssal zone. The body with a long peduncle is translucent and looks like a ripe pomegranate. The oral aperture is large and has huge anterior and posterior lobes. On the other hand, the atrial siphon opening at the antero-dorsal edge of the body is small. This ascidian is attached on a rock bed with the posterior end of the peduncle, and often facing the wide-opened oral aperture to the counter-direction to currents. It has been suggested that
M. hians
catches relatively large materials drifting in the water currents and engulf them without distinction.
