Reef Identification:
Grand Cayman Reefs
Phylum Platyhelminthes - Flatworms
The flatworms are small, secretive animals; thus they are easily overlooked.
They have flattened, oval bodies and numerous eyes, often diatributed in a band around the margin.
Species peculiar to this area can be found on oyster reefs, in shells occupied by hermit crabs,
on Sargassum and crawling over muddy sediments.
