User's notes
Flatworm deep orange dorsal surface, creamy white ventral surface, no lines. About 10mm, extending to 20-30mm.
I tried to see the eyes through a hand lens but had no luck. Its possible I need some training there, or better eyes.

Great. The fact that you could not see the eyes is consistent with the species. They eyes are very small.
