Info
Very special thanks for the first photo of Pseudoceros maximus to Arturo J. Telle, Canary Islands!
Pseudoceros maximus can be found in shallow water under rocks.
In flatworms are carnivorous, feed on a variety of large sessile and small mobile marine animals.
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.
