Macro find of the week
Meet the black-spotted flatworm (Pseudoceros nigropunctatus), photographed yesterday at Poison Reef. These polyclad flatworms glide across the reef in slow, ribbon-like waves — completely harmless, but easy to miss unless you're looking closely.
Their flattened bodies have no respiratory or circulatory system — they absorb oxygen directly through the skin, which is part of why they stay so thin. Nature's macro subjects don't get much more delicate than this.
