Salps are gelatinous animals that live in the open ocean, but are closely related to the "sea squirts" (tunicates) seen in tidepools. Colonial salps often form long chains, with new animals budding off from others in the chain. These chains can reach lengths of up to 15 meters (nearly 50 feet) and are one of the fastest-growing animals on the planet. ⁠
