Pseudobiceros splendidus (Lang, 1884)
100mm

This large flatworm was photographed at night on the seaward reef by Stan Jazwinski. This animal matches Pseudobiceros hymanae in the Newman & Cannon (CD) but the World Register of Marine Species states that P. splendidus is an earlier name. However, that same Newman & Coleman reference notes that P. splendidus is an Atlantic and Mediterranean species.
