Ascidiella scabra is a solitary ascidian of 2 to 5 cm in length. Its oval body is often attached to sustratum, seaweeds or rocks, by its left side. The cartilaginous test is white, more or less translucent with small reddish spots and small red papillae around both siphons. The atrial siphon is close to the terminal oral siphon.
Ascidiella scabra vit en Atlantique, Manche, Mer du Nord et en Méditerranée.
