Over the past two weeks, several of our staff have observed a population of Pseudoceros in the Colorado Lagoon. Pseudoceros is a genus of flatworm. According to the Southern California Association of Marine Invertebrate Taxonomists (SCAMIT), there are two species of Pseudoceros that are found in the Southern California Bight: Pseudoceros mexicanus and Pseudoceros montereyensis.
Update: Thanks to SCAMIT, it has been positively identified as Pseudoceros bajae!
