Thysanozoon [Thysanozoon]

Description

Thysanozoon is a genus of polyclad flatworms that are recognized by their thick, often brightly colored and patterned bodies. These marine worms are found across various oceans, primarily in coral reef environments. They are characterized by a dorsal surface covered in papillae, which gives them a distinct, bristly appearance. Thysanozoon species play a role in the reef ecosystem as both predators and prey. Their diet mainly consists of small invertebrates.
