WHAT is spineless, loves oysters, wears beige with purple flecks and fences with its penis?

It might sound like the first half of a joke about a despised profession but in fact such a creature has just been discovered in the waters of Botany Bay.

Scientists from the University of NSW will this week announce the discovery of a new species of flatworm found at a depth of about three metres underneath Kurnell Pier.

Named Imogine lateotentare, the creature is a member of the little understood group of predators commonly known as oyster leeches. Its discovery is to be announced in the Journal of Natural History.
