Aeolid from Ecuador

Dear Bill,
In May we found this little slug (less than 5 mm) under a cobble in the intertidal zone of a locality called Santa Marianita, near Manta (the second most important port of Ecuador).

I am very sorry that the pictures are so blury, but maybe they may help with the ID.

Cheers,
Soledad Luna

Dear Soledad,
As you say, the photo is a bit blurry. I can only make a guess. From the general colour, and the apparently smooth rhinophores, this could be Flabellina bertschi, but I can't be sure.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
