Eurylepta [Eurylepta]

Description

Eurylepta represents a genus of polyclad flatworms that are less commonly known than their colorful cousins. They have more subdued coloration, often blending with their surroundings on the sea floor. These flatworms are found in both shallow and moderately deep waters, where they prey on small invertebrates. They play a role in the benthic ecosystem as both predators and prey for larger marine animals.
