Didemnium vexillum is considered as partially native in our catalogue. I would move it to cryptogenics

I think it should be considered as non-indigenous or invasive. It is native to the northwestern Pacific Ocean. See Gittenberger, A. (2007) Recent population expansions of non-native ascidians in The Netherlands. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 342, 122–126. NS

No changes needed in the Catalogue.
