Sea Peaches are of the order Stolidobranchia, making them a sub-classification of Tunicates. Sea Peaches are commonly found in the northern Pacific ocean, ranging from the Arctic Sea down to Puget Sound, and most common in the Bering Sea at a depth of 40 to 100 meters. The Sea Peach is typically barrel shaped, growing to a height of 18 centimeters, and its body is attached directly to the substrate. The Sea Peach is preyed upon by crabs and sea stars.
