Comments: Botrylloides perspicuus is an Indo-Pacific ascidian that has been introduced into the NEP, Chile, and the<br />

Caribbean. It has been reported from the Yellow Sea (Liu, 2008) but it is not clear whether this is a native or introduced<br />

distribution. Monniot and Monniot (2001) synonymized Botryllus firmus with B. perspicuous.<br />
