Epizoic acoelomorph flatworms compete with their coral host for zooplankton.
Coral Reefs Volume: 30 Issue: 3: 665

Abstract / Notes

Waminoa sp.
On average, G. fascicularis polyps hosted 2 ± 1 SD flatworms which captured a total of 1.7 ± 0.5 SD Artemia
nauplii per 30 min interval (0.9 ± 0.6 SD nauplii flatworm–1). Flatworms captured nauplii by
raising their anterior edge from the polyp surface, curling their lateral edges downward and encapsulating
prey
