Pyura Chilensis
By Mark Flippo
Pyura chilensis is a tunicate that somewhat resembles a mass of organs inside a rock. It is often found on the coast of Chile and Peru. It is a filter feeder that eats by sucking in seawater and filtering out microorganisms. It is born male, becomes hermaphroditic at puberty, and reproduces by tossing clouds of sperm and eggs into the surrounding water. If it is alone, it will procreate by self-fertilization.
This could have been a surprise for someone not knowing what it was and being picked up as a vacation memento! I thought when I first looked at it that is was a crystal rock cut in half. I had to look at the photo a couple of times. Now I know it is a living creature! Well Thank You Jesus when I think I have seen just about everything, one more thing pops up! Isn't God just astounding! This creature lives because it has been given a great filtering system. Spiritually we have been given a great filtering system, USE IT! OR LOSE IT!
