Paraplanocera 1

This beautiful 1.5″ (40 mm) flatworm was found swimming above the sand in the Waikuli area of West Maui.  These are particularly beautiful images of a translucent species with a lace-like pattern — a pattern often not fully appreciated when it is traversing the rocky reef or sand.  For more information and other images, please see John Hoover’s Flatworm site.
