probably methylene blue; trypan blue labels dead cells too. a lot of
those old dyes work b/c the cell membrane is compromised. probably I'd
say that the problem with tuicates is...oddly..the tunic. I'm sure
that's not news to you.

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if someone knows of literature or are experienced with
vital
staining colonial tunicates. This would be to verify the death of
Didemnum
vexilum in treatments the I will be doing. Any information would be of
great
help and appreciated.
Thanks,
