  Thaliacea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thaliaceans of the order Pyrosomida are colonial, living in groups that can be over a meter long.
Those of the order Doliolida live singly, Salpida live singly or form loosely connected "chains".
They have a barrel-shaped body through which they pump water, propelling them through the sea and from which they extract food.

 The Salps (Class Thaliacea)
They swim as they feed, or visa versa because like all the Urochordates they are filter feeders and they have their inhalant and exhalent siphons at opposite ends of their bodies.
The class is divided into 3 orders; the Pyrosomida which are colonial living and the Salpida and Doliolida which are not colonial.
Like the Tunicates they feed by drawing a current of water in through their inhalant siphon and out through the exhalent siphon.
