From editor or global species database
Diet generally for group, they are carnivorous; in some cases only the body juices are ingested but the whole prey may be taken in. feed on protozoans, other microfauna and at times prey their own size [details]
Dimensions length up to 150 mm by 3 mm [details]
Distribution Western slope of Newfoundland, including the southern part of the Strait of Belle Isle but excluding the upper 50m in the area southwest of NL; Cobscook Bay to Chesapeake Bay; possibly locations worldwide. But, see Identification note. [details]
Distribution Bay of Fundy to Chesapeake Bay but see Identification note. [details]
Habitat intertidal [details]
Habitat benthic, living under rocks in soft substrata, or crawling among algae, hydroids, or in bottom debris, often in gregarious clumps. [details]
Identification Lineus viridis and NE USA Ramphogordius sanguineus (formerly Lineus socialis) are easily confused by non-specialists and even nemertinologists not very familiar with them. Hence, records attributed to either are suspect if ID was not done by one of few experts. [details]
Reproduction Sexes are separate when gonads form but gametogenesis seems generally to be aborted and asexual reproduction by fragmentation seems to be the norm. [details]
Synonymy Borlasia octoculata (partim) = Ramphogordius sanguineus
Gordius oculatus (partim) probably = Lineus sanguineus , but there still is some uncertainty about the genus name of the first mentionned species
Lineus oculatus (partim) probably = Lineus sanguineus, but there still is some uncertainty about the genus name of the first mentioned species [details]
remark species used to be named Lineus socialis; species fragment easily when handled [details]
