Some are e.g. liver flukes, but others are not e.g. a whale's fluke.
Flukes
they are consumer or predators and they are parasitic like tapeworms and flukes

Flukes are a type of tapeworm that is parasitic. They have suctioned mouths and are generally not segmented. Most are only a few centimeters long.
Trinchinosis is usually caused by eating flukes in raw fish
Flukes have a parasitic ecological relationship with their hosts, often living in the digestive, circulatory, or respiratory system of animals. They can cause harm to their hosts and impact their health and fitness. Flukes may also serve as intermediate hosts for other parasites, completing their life cycle and spreading infection.
It is a symbiotic relatiionship, a parasitic relationship, meaning it benefits the parasite but harms the host. Flukes--Parasitic flatworms having external suckers for attaching to a host http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis
If you mean parasitic flatworms, they belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes.
Planarians are free-living flatworms, flukes are parasitic flatworms that infect various host animals, and leeches are blood-feeding segmented worms.
Capillariasis is a parasitic infection. The infection is caused by several types of nematodes: flatworms such as liver flukes, and roundworms.
Flukes are a type of flatworm and reproduce sexually. They are not free-living; instead, they are typically parasitic. Flukes do not have eyespots, and they are not segmented; they have a more simple, unsegmented body structure.
No, not all members of phylum Platyhelminthes are parasitic. While some species within this phylum are parasitic, like tapeworms and flukes, others are free-living and can be found in various aquatic and terrestrial environments.
