Flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes) are simple soft-bodied invertebrates. They can usually be distinguished by their flattened, oval body with bilaterally symmetrical (i.e. either side of a centre line) having a distinct front and rear end.
Flatworms are sometimes confused with Nudibranchs, which are completely unrelated. If you would like to know more about Flatworms and Nudibranchs why not consider our Underwater Naturalist Course. Or if you'd like to take photographs like these, perhaps our Digital Photography Course
