Kovakapselit

Kovakapselit, also known as Kovakapseli, is a Finnish term that translates to "hard capsules" in English. These are small, hard, gelatinous capsules that are commonly found in the Baltic Sea, particularly in the Gulf of Finland. They are a type of marine organism, specifically a type of colonial tunicate, which is a marine invertebrate animal. Kovakapselit are known for their distinctive appearance, with a hard, calcified shell that can be up to 10 centimeters in diameter. They are often found in large colonies, attached to rocks or other hard surfaces. Kovakapselit are an important part of the marine ecosystem, serving as a habitat for various marine organisms and contributing to the overall biodiversity of the Baltic Sea. They are also of interest to scientists due to their unique biology and the role they play in the marine food web. Despite their hard exterior, kovakapselit are relatively soft and gelatinous inside, with a transparent, jelly-like substance that is home to a variety of smaller marine organisms.
