Purple flatworm (Planaria púrpura)

A beautiful example of the largest flatworm species in the Costa Brava, at least the largest species which Juan and I have found.  They can reach lengths exceeding 15cm (6").  This photo also shows the orange stripe bordering its edge.  Its "head" is to the right, where you can see its rhinophores.  Recently, we found two together in the process of mating.  Those photos are only for people 18 and older!!  Enjoy this one.
