Amphiscolops [Amphiscolops]

Description

Amphiscolops is a genus within the family Convolutidae, comprising species of acoel worms that inhabit marine environments. These organisms are distinguished by their elongated, slightly flattened bodies and the presence of sensory bristles. Their size can vary, but they are generally small, making them less noticeable within their habitats. Amphiscolops species are benthic, living on or near the sea floor, often found in intertidal zones or shallow waters. They are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction, with some species exhibiting remarkable regeneration abilities. Their diet primarily consists of microscopic algae and detritus.
