Please help ID flatworm...

7 posts
  1. Found this guy at a site near Haad Chao Lao, Chantaburi Province, Thailand - depth 4m. I think it's some kind of Pseudoceros sp. - ID help please...

     

    Apologies for poor quality of photo. The small single spot on the flatworm's head is not a grain of sand but is an actual colouration.

  4. Hi Vie - Welcome to Wetpixel. :lol:

     

    Thanks, Leslie. Nice to see a familiar avatar here :D

     

    I couldn't find an exact match for your animal. Take a look at Pseudoceros indicus - could yours be a light colored variant of this species?

     

    Could be! The Pseudoceros indicus photos below show violet/purple margins - I have never seen the variant that you linked (above) before. Thank you.

    Leslie Newman identified all 3 images and she described the species so I guess they're probably right

    :lol:

     

    the original description says either blue or purple spots. It's here: http://mangilao.uog.edu/up/micronesica/abs...man_177-184.pdf

     

    And here's another color variant
