Hi Bill,
Here are another 2 pictures of Thorunna florens from Tulamben. There is quite some difference in body shape. The first one much more round than the second.
Locality: Tulamben, Bali, about 15 m, Indonesia, 30 September 2008, black sand. Length: 2 cm. Photographer: Marcel Tanke.
Best regards,
Marcel

Because they have no hard skeleton, shape in these animals is quite changeable. They can be quite elongate when moving but much shorter and wider when at rest or when feeding. Its possible the animal in the upper photo is feeding but I can't make out enough detail to be sure.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
