WANTED: flatworms for invertebrate zoology course

[kmk2307]

Hi all,

I teach Invertebrate Zoology at the University of Alabama. This Thursday we are covering Acoelomorpha and I would love to get my hands on some live acoel flatworms for my students to see. Is there anyone with a 'plague' of acoels (e.g., Convolutriloba) and/or acoels that live on corals (e.g., Waminoa) that would be willing to send me some? Of course I would happily cover the shipping. Bonus points if you also send me a small scoop of sand from your tank so we can look for meiofaunal acoels too.

Thank you!
Kevin

I would post in a local forum. I'd be shocked if somebody didn't have some they'd be more than willing to part with down there!

Thanks for the tip! I gave it a shot.
