Hi Shauming, if you could please, just for the sake of accuracy. Maybe we should create a flatworms mission! I love your photos btw, it makes me realise I need to get in the water more often!

Oh this is beautiful! I do love seeing flatworms on the reef, they almost don't look real when they float past you. Flatworms definitely look a lot like nudis, it often causes a lot of confusion when IDing! Fantastic spotting all the same, what a wonderful creature.

So you mean to say i should remove this posy from the nudibranch group? Madasamarinebiologist?

Mabuhay Shauming, great spot, never seen one of these!
However, flatworms are not related to nudibranchs [they are in the Phylum Platyhelminthes, not Opisthobranchia]. I know we often associate them because of their colours, but please stick to posting flatworms in the Global Coral Reef Monitoring mission. Thank you for your understanding :]
