Dear Les,
The shape and colour fo the rhinophores are right and the general colour of the cerata and body seem to fit. However I have not seen a specimen in which the subterminal purple band on the cerata is such a thin discrete line. In most cases it is a broad band with diffuse edges. Perhaps someone with a personal knowledge of this fauna can help us.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
