Oakley, J.A., 2005 (Aug 13) Rostanga rubra from Devon, UK. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/14438Thanks Judith,
Even half out of water I would agree with your identification. In fact the half-wet look shows the bristly spiculate tubercles [caryophyllidia] which cover its mantle very well.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
