It is a marine flatworm that gets energy from its endosymbiotic algae or from the consumption of small invertebrates such as copepods and rotifers. Among other flatworms, it is known to starve coral on accident by blocking out its sunlight while searching for food on the corals surface due to its rapid reproduction.[1] C. retrogemma, like lots of other flatworms, contains dangerous toxins to keep it predators away, and, on death, it can release these toxins.[1] This is very harmful to nearby life such as coral and fish, and even people if infected fish are consumed. ReproductionConvolutriloba retrogemma reproduce very quickly either sexually by laying eggs or asexually by using budding and binary fission, where it splits up and makes a bud that will create a new worm,[1] or by using fragmentation, where it forms new parent organisms from fragments of one original parent organism. DistributionThese flatworms are found globally, but originate from Cuba.[2] Due to their reproduction techniques they can be a plague to aquariums and fish tanks, as they are very harmful, unsightly, and difficult to remove without harming other life nearby.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://www.reefkeeping.com/joomla/index.php/current-issue/article/31-flatworms-and-other-bugs-that-make-you-see-red|title=Reefkeeping Magazine - Flatworms and Other "Bugs" That Make You See Red|website=www.reefkeeping.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-02-16}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q3085398}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=380085|title=WoRMS - World Register of Marine Species - Convolutriloba retrogemma Hendelberg & Akesson, 1988|website=www.marinespecies.org|access-date=2017-02-16}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.coralrx.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=20|title=Red Flatworms - Treat Red Flatworms{{!}}Treatment for Red Planaria{{!}}Rust Flatworms{{!}}Convolutriloba Retrogemma Cure - CoralRX|last=Administrator|website=www.coralrx.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-02-16}} 5 : Acoelomorphs|Fauna of the Caribbean|Fauna of Cuba|Marine fauna of North America|Animals described in 1988 |
