Info

Pseudoceros microcelis Prudhoe, 1989

Although similar in appearance to Thysanozoon nigropapillosum, the fact that the yellow spots are not raised on papillae suggest this one is Pseudoceros microcelis.

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.
