Pseudoceros concinnus (Collingwood, 1876)
Small flatworms feed on bacteria, diatoms and protozoa, larger flatworms feeds on ascidians, worms, molluscs and other small animals.
Unfortunately there is no more information available and we would be grateful for any supplementary references.
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.
Synonym:
