Genus

Common name: Pseudoceros flatworms

Scientific name: Pseudobiceros

Pseudobiceros is a genus of colorful flatworms found in tropical and subtropical seas, known for their striking patterns and vibrant colors. These flatworms are part of the Polycladida order and are often seen by divers and reef enthusiasts. In the aquarium, they are not commonly kept due to their predatory nature, often feeding on small invertebrates and sometimes even corals. They are fascinating creatures with a complex reproductive system, capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction. Their presence in a reef tank is usually accidental and they can be considered pests.
