Marine+Flatworm-Pseudoceros+Ferrugineus

1. They feed off of algae, dead animals in the sea and other small invertebrates. 2. They must live in warm water tempatures to survive 1. They are Hermaphrodites, which means they have both female and male reproductive cells, and fertilize eggs Internally by copulation. Some of the species mate by Penis Fencing, a duel in which each tries to impregnate the other, and the loser adopts the female role of developing the eggs. 2.
