B. violaceus is listed as cryptogenic. Should it be moved to the alien status?

Yes, it is considered as introduced to the UK. See Bock, D. G., Zhan, A., Lejeusne, C., MacIsaac, H. J., & Cristescu, M. E. (2011). Looking at both sides of the invasion: patterns of colonization in the violet tunicate Botrylloides violaceus. Molecular ecology, 20(3), 503-516. NS
