the body is less than 2 mm in length, oblong in shape, and with a distinct, pointed, nipple-like tail. the surface of the body is entirely covered with cilia, while along the body margins there are longer sensory cilia. the mouth is mid-ventral, although it is not known whether they are able to feed independently or gain nourishment solely from the symbiotic algae. like many other acoel species, "wulguru cuspidata" is a hermaphrodite.
