The 'sea squirt' (or Ascidian, belonging to
the subphylum of the Tunicata) is an aquatic animal that in its first
stage of life develops into a tadpole-like creature. It swims around
until it finds a suitable rock or coral reef to settle in for life. Then
the sea squirt digests its own tail and the part of its central nervous
system that allows it to move around. In other words, it devours its own brain. (Thanks to Alex Voorhoeve!)
