Unknown from Okinawa, Japan

Dear Dr.Rudman
Here is another one from Kume Is, Okinawa, Japan, which I would like identified. It was photographed on 25 June 2001 on the outer reef: depth -10m., length 10mm.
Best wishes,

Kawamoto, T., 2001 (Oct 3) Unknown from Okinawa, Japan. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/5355Dear Tsuyoshi,
I think this is a sacoglossan rather than an aeolid. There only appears to be one pair of head tentacles and the digestive gland duct in the cerata does not seem to extend to the tip. Hopefully Kathe Jensen will be able to give us an idea about this animal.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
