Please help ID flatworm.

[Vie]

Found this guy at a site near Haad Chao Lao, Chantaburi Province, Thailand - depth 4m. I think it's some kind of Pseudoceros sp. - ID help please...

Apologies for poor quality of photo. The small single spot on the flatworm's head is not a grain of sand but is an actual colouration.

I shot this in Bligh Water in Fiji in Dec 2007:

I was told it is a Pseuduceros Susanae and your my be a variation of the same Flat Worm?

Turns out my flatworm is a Pseudoceros indicus.

Thanks again for the ID, Leslie

Glad you found ID for this one. I was stumped... Looking now at the photo in Marine Flatworms I can see the resemblance.

That's where I originally looked and the pics there only showed the violet/purple colour variant...
