Dear Bill,
On a recent visit to Indonesia I found three different pleurobranchs but can only identify this one - Euselenops luniceps. [see also message 1, message 2]
They were all seen on 18 November 2003, Dive site: Just front in (North-east of Bali, Amlapura, Scuba Seraya Resort,] Size: 8 cm. Depth: 3-15m.
Thanks for any help in identifying them.

Akbatur, H.H., 2003 (Dec 11) Euselenops luniceps from Indonesia. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/11653Dear Haluk,
There is certainly no mistaking this animal. Your photo shows how it extends out its great oral veil to sense for food in the sand. Unfortunately we don't know what it actually eats but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be small crustacea.
Bbest wishes
