''Molgula occulta'' is a species of solitary tunicate in the family Molgulidae. It is native to the north eastern Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The specific name ''occulta'' means "tailless" and refers to the tunicate's larva, which lacks the tail found in some other species in the genus ''Molgula''. ==Description== ''Molgula occulta'' is a solitary, oval-globular tunicate with a broad, shallow six-lobed oral siphon and a similar-sized four-lobed atrial siphon, both near the apex. It is tall, light brown in colour and resembles a kiwifruit in size and appearance. The rather stiff tunic wall is completely coated with shell fragments, mud particles and grains of sand. This distinguishes it from the otherwise very similar species ''Molgula oculata '' which has a bare patch around and between its siphons to which sediment does not adhere.
