Hello everyone! Can you tell me what type of planarian this might be, approximately or exactly? I found it in an aquarium store; there were many such peculiar specimens buried in the substrate along the glass. It looks like a representative of the genus Dugesia, but it could be something else. The creamy color, the tendency to burrow into the substrate, a distinct stripe on the body, and what seems like a not very ferocious appetite (unlike Dugesia japonica) — all of these traits make them different from other planarians. They're about the size of a pinky nail, but they could grow larger. They were in the thickets of Utricularia graminifolia.
