Pyrosomata

… Protochordata are divided into two classes, Urochordata and Cephalochordata, according to the condition of the notochord. Urochordata includes four orders: Ascidiacea, Thaliacea, Appendicularia, and Pyrosomata. The squirts, salps, sea squirts, larvae, and cyanophora in each order are very different in appearance, but Ascidiacea, Salpa, and Cynophora have tails with notochords only in the larval stage, while Cercophora have tails with notochords even in the adult stage. …

From [Tunicate]

…a class of protochordata. All of them live in the sea and include four orders: Appendicularia, Thaliacea, Pyrosomata, and Ascidiacea. When young, urochordates are tadpole-shaped and have a notochord in their tails, but when they metamorphose and begin to live epiphytically, the notochord and the muscles of the tail are absorbed into the head and are no longer visible.
