Info

Pseudoceros rubronanus Newman & Cannon, 1998

Ventral surface light red, body oval with a few marginal ruffles, Pseudotentacles small bumps. Pseudoceros rubronanus feeds on 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.
