Field Notes

Description:

Flatworms are primitive invertebrates that have earned a phylum (Plathyhelminthes) all to their own. They come in many shapes, sizes, and colours. The colourful ones seen on coral reefs are collectively referred to as 'Spanish dancers' and often mimic specific nudibranch species.
