Facts
- The renal sac contains nitrogenous wastes, solid concretions composed of weddellite and calcite and an apicomplexan symbiont Nephromyces, which have endosymbiontic bacteria (Ref: Wiki)
- Hermaphroditic; external fertilisation (Ref: Wiki)
- Molgula-species have no tadpole-stage; an amoeboid individual leaves the egg (Ref: Wiki)
