Speckled flatworm

The speckled flatworm (Notoplana atomata) lacks tentacles but has eyespots arranged in four clusters. On the dorsal side, the worm is brown with small flecks of color. Like the oyster flatworm, the speckled flatworm is small, usually less than 1 inch (2.5 cm). 

Worms are plentiful in the shallow intertidal waters. Both simple flatworms and more complex segmented worms can be found there. Because of its size, the milky flatworm may be the most obvious, but the shoreline also supports many other types, including the speckled flatworm and oyster flatworm.
