Planaria eating worm segment

[badbobbyhughes]

i couldnt tell what really was happeniong after the view changes when it grabs the worm segment, all i can see is a dark mass i assume is the planarian, and all the white tubes, are those all feeding tubes it extends into the prey? did it only get one inside? I couldnt see the worm at all again after the point it was grabbed at the start

How do the pharynges penetrate the integument and body cavity of a worm? Do they have teeth to bore their way into the worm's skin?

I have a mini planaria and i have four questions:

1) I don't see the white tubes or pharynx in mine - is it only this specie that the pharynx is clearly visible?

2)What else can you feed them besides worms?

3)How often do you have to change the water

4)I recently cut mine in half and then i tried picking up the one with the head and every time i touch* it - a string like substance appears and it's attached to the object that i was picking it up with: can you please explain? I'm curious ^^
