Our fishermen call them Monkey Balls but they are more commonly referred to by marine biologists as “Sea Squirts”. Sea Squirt is a pretty apt description as every time one gets squished they seem to find a way to squirt you right in the eye. I took these photos Saturday morning just as they came out of the water.

These are really interesting little things. Do they serve a purpose like do they grow into anything or are they a food source for certain kinds of fish? I never heard of them until now.
