Pseudocerotidae is a family of flatworms which includes the Bedford's flatworm. Pseudocerotidae are simple organisms categorized by their oval bodies and tentacles[1] and bright colors. They use the cilia to glide along surfaces.[2] Most commonly referred to as marine flatworms, closely related to the orders Macrostomorpha and Lecithoepitheliata. These organisms have very complex reproductive systems,[3] no blood systems or organs for gas exchange, a simple brain and are hermaphroditic.[4]
