Info

Platyhelminthes

The roundworm is an undescribed species. The photo comes from Central California Coast, USA. It is currently not possible to assign it to a family or genus because we lack any clues.

Marine flatworms mostly feed on carnivores, often on sea squirts. Some predatory species eat molluscs, such as snails and mussels.
