The tiger flatworm, or Pseudoceros crozieri , is a flatworm that is named for its tiger-like stripes and orange coloration. It is generally small, growing up to about 40mm and lives underwater. It is commonly found in Bermuda.
These flatworms have very simple body systems. Food goes from the mouth on the bottom side of the organism through the pharynx into the intestines where it is digested by the cells on the intestines. Then its nutrients diffuse to the rest of the body. They also receive oxygen and release carbon dioxide by diffusion.
