Info

Newman & Cannon, 1998

Pseudoceros laingensis has a creme ore pale yellow coloured body with scattered purple spots. Some have very few spots on the body and sometimes without.

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.
