Doc's Nicola Toki introduces us to this week’s critter is the sea squirt or sea tulip. There common name comes from the fact they look like an odd shaped tulip. You can commonly find these native invertebrates attached to a rock in the shallow waters around the South Island, Stewart Island, on the coast around Wellington and several offshore islands, especially the Chatham Islands.
