Leptoplanids [Leptoplanidae]

Description

Leptoplanidae are a family of polyclad flatworms that exhibit a range of body shapes, from elongated to more ovate. They are less commonly encountered than some other polyclad families but play an important role in the marine food web as predators of small invertebrates. Leptoplanids can be found in various marine environments, often hiding under rocks or within sediments. Their coloration tends to be more subdued, aiding in camouflage.
