Notoplana acticola

Species of flatworm

Notoplana acticola is a species of flatworms that belongs to Turbellarians. The flatworm is one of the most primitive flatworm that has a brain. This species has the ability to consume prey without a brain present. There is no specific evidence on what the flatworms eat regularly, but some research shows that they may eat limpets. Notoplana acticola are able to ingest food at a rapid rate. Research shows a normal flatworm can ingest one brine shrimp in less than a minute and eat up to 5 shrimp. The amount of shrimp consumed by a decerebrated flatworm is different due to the lack of control.
