Is this a species of Stiliger?

From: Akos Lumnitzer

Hello Bill,
On a night dive in October 2001 at Oak Park in southern Sydney, my wife found these two tiny slugs. They remind me of Ercolania cf. boodleae looking at the shape, but the colour seems reversed. They were about 5mm long.
Regards

Dear Akos,
I think they are Stiliger cremoniana. There is a possibility they are Favorinus tsuruganus but I can't see enough detail to decide whether they are a sacoglossan or an aeolid.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
