Often confused with A. scabra, because it can attaches itself to the hard substrate by his flanks - a characteristic of the latter.

Found in the lower intertidal and sublittorally to 80 m. Will tolerate salinities as low as 18 psu and is therefore, often found in estuaries.

Usually in shallow sheltered sites, harbours, sea laughs, etc., attached to shells or pebbles on mud or on silty rock if this is present. Often abundant.

Ascidiella aspersa is a species of solitary sea squirts native to the northeastern Atlantic, from the Mediterranean Sea to Norway. They possess oval bodies up to 50 to 130 mm (2.0 to 5.1 in) in length. Their branchial (or oral) siphons are conical and positioned at the top of the body. They possess six to eight lobes. The atrial siphons are located at the upper third of the side of the body and possess six lobes. The body is covered by a firm transparent test that is greyish to brown in color. The test often snag detritus that remain loosely attached to the animal. When expanded, at most 40 tentacles can be observed on the inside surface of the branchial wall. Both the openings of the branchial and atrial siphons possess lighter colored ridges on their rims. They may also be frilled at times. A. aspersa are attached to the substrates by the left side of their bodies. They can be found in dense groups of unfused individuals on hard surfaces like rocks. at depths of up to 90 m (300 ft).[2][3][4][5]
A. aspersa closely resemble Ciona intestinalis, but can be distinguished by their lack of yellow markings around their siphons.[2]

De ruwe zakpijp is meestal aan de zijkant vastgehecht. Als je ze uit het water tilt spuiten ze water uit; vandaar de bijnamen 'zeikers' en 'pissers'. Ze kunnen massaal aan de onderkant van boten zitten. Met de hogedrukspuit kun je er van af halen.
