Identification:
This unidentified Pseudoceros species stands out with its striking coloration—typically a vivid color background decorated with numerous bright yellow or orange spots. The undulating edges of its body are often lined with a contrasting pale or white margin, enhancing its visual impact as it glides across the reef. Like other Pseudoceros, it has a broad, flattened body and simple pseudotentacles formed by ruffled folds.

Size:
Between 2 and 5 cm in length.

Habitat:
Commonly seen in coral reef environments, especially on rubble zones and reef slopes rich in sessile invertebrates.

Depth Range:
3 – 20 meters, most often encountered during the day.

Diet:
Feeds on colonial ascidians and possibly other encrusting organisms. It uses a protrusible pharynx to consume its prey by sucking in their soft tissues.

Reproduction:
Hermaphroditic; during mating, individuals engage in "penis fencing" to determine who will inseminate the other. Eggs are laid in a gelatinous mass attached to hard substrates.

Fun Fact:
The vibrant and high-contrast coloration of Pseudoceros sp.14 is not just beautiful—it serves as a warning to predators, signaling that this flatworm is unpalatable or toxic. Its graceful, rippling movement through the water makes it a favorite subject for underwater macro photographers.
