Info

Pseudoceros scriptus Newman & Cannon, 1998

The Script flatworm have a cream background colour with irregular black patches and an orange marginal band.With aposematic colors (warning coloration) the flatworm has no fear to crawl around.This species feeds on various colonial ascidians.

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.
