Hi Bill,
Here is Tritonia diomedea. It was seen in about 18M of water adjacent to the Monterey Breakwater, California. It is a large slug, about 150mm long.

Bauder, C., 2002 (Mar 6) Tritonia diomedea from Monterey, CA. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6320Thanks Clinton,
This species has similar adaptations for living in sand as the other species I compare with with Euselenops luniceps. In particular it has a very broad foot, and a wide oral veil with sensory tentacles along the edge.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
