Pseudoceros monostichos, Newman and Cannon 1994
The background colour is a creme. On the body is a narrow black-brown longitudinal line (mono = one, stichos = line , for the single line).
This middle forsal line is bordered by a white band and s light brown band.On the body are dimpleds.
There are four indistinct marginal bands (inner a yellow band, then a green band, a blue and a purple band.
Pseudoceros monostichos can found under rubble and on the reef slope.
The dimpled flatworm 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.
