Flatworms mostly eat barnacles and oyster spat. Oyster spat is, at the beginning stages of an oyster's life cycle, when the oyster starts the free-swimming larval stages and eventually attaches itself to a hard substrate. Flatworms wait until their prey opens its valves to feed. This is when the flatworm inserts its mouth into the prey's open mouth and feeds on its interior tissues.
