This is another rarely seen flatworm and quite beautiful one at that. It was just over 35mm and was found in the intertidal lagoons of Makena Landing, Maui. We’re not certain that this is an Acotylean 11, hence the tentative title, suggesting a similarity between this worm and one that is rarely seen in Australia and appears to be even more rare in Hawaii. It is a striking peachy/orange colour at the centre (some have a more distinct medial line than the one documented here) and the colour grows lighter towards the margins. This one also lacks a distinct white marginal band but there is a faint margin and it bears white dashes and dots typical of another that has been seen on the Big Island of Hawaii. The tentacular eyes on the Hawaiian animals appear to be similar in spacing as well. See John Hoover’s Flatworm site for more information
