Is this a Catriona gymnota? I took this photo at Isole Tremiti in the middle Adriatic Sea last may.

Dear Gennaro,
I don't think this is Cuthona gymnota which is much dukller in colour and I don't think has an orange-tipped form. One possibility is that it is Eubranchus farrani but I ma not sure if there is a colour form which lacks orange markings on the back as yours does. Hopefully someone with local knowledge can help us
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
