Pyura gibbosa is a species of sea-squirt in the family, Pyuridae, [2] and was first described in 1878 as Cynthia gibbosa by Camill Heller. [1] [3]

It is a sessile, subtropical species, [4] found in the temperate seas of the coasts of all Australian states with the exception of the Northern Territory. [2] It is hermaphroditic and both cross and self-fertilisation occurs. The eggs develop into larva before metamorphosing into adults. [4]

A good description of the species is given by Patricia Kott in a 1985 paper. [5]
