Abstract: A short paper on seven individual associates, representing six species, five orders, three classes and two phyla found in the ascidian Ascidia mentula. With the exception of 3 copepods, which are obligatory asidicoles, all the other species (pea crab, an amphipod, and two lamellibranchs) can be found in other situations. The ascidians attraction is postulated.
