Most flatworms, including Procotyla fluviatilis, are predators. They eat protists (including Amoeba, Paramecium, and Euglena), rotifers, nematodes, small crustaceans, aquatic worms, and other soft-bodied animals. They also feed on dead animal matter and larger animals that are injured.
All flatworms have a soft body and a triangle-shaped head. They also have eye-spots on top of their heads which can see light. Flatworms are not closely related to most other worms, such as earthworms. Bodies are flat instead of round, and they do not have segments.Flatworms spend most of their time on the bottom, especially since they can't swim.rocotyla fluviatilis can also migrate by streams to other bodies of water. Flatworms are less active when the water is very warm or when they are fully fed. Flatworms, also called planarians, are found just about everywhere there is water.
