spotted black flatworm @ terumbu semakau - July 2014

Came across this beautiful spotted black flatworm cruising a shallow intertidal pool on the exposed reef. This one was about 8 cm long. For flatworms, this is a rather large specimen as some of them can be really small. Its undulating form carpeted the sandy substrate as it moved with an amazing gracefulness.
