Info
Pseudoceros sp.
The photo of this flatworm with the bright purple marginal bands was taken in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia during a night dive by Sonja Ooms.
Unfortunately there is no more information about this brown flatworm with an orange marginal coloration available and we would be grateful for any supplementary refrences.
Reproduction:
The whirlworm can reproduce both asexually and sexually. This species is hermaphroditic, meaning that it has both male and female reproductive organs. When two whirlworms reproduce, they fight to decide who will be fertilized and who will be the fertilizer. The winner gets to act as the male individual and fertilize the other.
