Info

Pseudobiceros splendidus (Lang, 1884)

Colour: Black with bright orange marginal band and very narrow transparent rim.

Similar to Pseudobiceros uniarborensis, Pseudobiceros hancockanus and Pseudoceros periaurantus.

Reproduction:
The whirlworm can reproduce both asexually and sexually. This species is hermaphroditic, meaning that it has both male and female reproductive organs. When two whirlworms reproduce, they fight to decide who will be fertilized and who will be the fertilizer. The winner gets to act as the male individual and fertilize the other.
