Taken 2022 22nd January, these are candy stripe flatworms (Prostheceraeus vittatus) @evolutionsmuseet being displayed. In Sweden, they occur on the west coast. They live in the intertidal to shallow subtidal zones hiding wherever possible, crawling over substrate using cilia, or gliding over it with sinuous motions. They will hunt other small invertebrates such as tunicates. #animal #animals #djur #wildlife #natur #naturliv #nature #naturalhistory #naturhistoriska #preservedspecimen #fauna #invertebrates #invertebrate #flatworm #flatworms #polyclad #polyclads #polycladflatworm #polycladflatworms #marineflatworm #marineflatworms #plattmaskar #plattmask #animalia #platyhelminthes #polycladida #euryleptidae #prostheceraeus #prostheceraeusvittatus #candystripedflatworm (at Evolutionsmuseet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZaIIhiPNWY/?utm_medium=tumblr
