No. They are both chordates, which means during embryonic development they have a notochord, the same as vertebrates. This does not persist in tunicates, but it does in lancelets (adults still have a notochord).
Neither tunicates or lancelets have a backbone.

Cephalochordates e.g. Amphioxus ,; tunicates , acorn worms etc. are nonvertebrate chordates , they are collctively called protochordates .
How can tunicates be not vertebrates?
Because they have no back bone
Why are the tunicates and lanceletes classified as invertebrate chordates?
Phylum Chordata simply consists of all animals that, at least in their embryonic phase, have a structure called the notochord. In the vertebrates, the notochord develops into the vertebrae, i.e. the backbone. Some primitive chordates, though, including the tunicates, lancelets, and hagfish, do not ever develop vertebrae, although they have/have had a notochord. Hence, Subphyla Urochordata and Cephalochordata, and Class Myxini are invertebrate chordates.

What is the name of the only vertebrate phylum?
The only vertebrate phylum is Chordata. All animals with backbones, or any bones at all, are chordates. Tunicates, which are filter feeding invertebrates with a spinal nerve but no bones, are also chordates.
What animals eat Predatory Tunicates?
the hawsbill and leatherback sea turtle eats tunicates
What kind of skeleton does a jawless fish have?
Agnathans are the jawless fish. They are usually fairly small (a few centimeters in length.) They consist of lancelets and tunicates. They have a notochord which is like a backbone, but it is more flexible than bone. Tunicates are enveloped by a tough tunic around their bodies. Other than that, they have no other bones.
What is is the difference between tunicates and lancelets?
Tunicates and lancelets are invertebrates, while the other chordates are vertebrates.During their embryonic stage they have a flexible cord that supports their bodies which disappears in the adult stage. Some of these develop bones surrounding the cord in the adult stage rather than have it disappear.
