Dear Bill,
Here is a photo (by Adam Powell) and a sketch (by Richard Smith) of OWN67.  Dave Behrens has seen the photo and suggested that  it
might be a new Flabellina.  Have you seen one like this before?  Length: 9-10 mm.  Found at a depth of 14.1 m on a smooth black sponge with randomly dispersed oscula and it appeared to be feeding on it.  The rhinophores are papillate, non-retractile and  held high with a small eye spot at the base. Oral tentacles 'frosted' with magenta.  The notum is a frosted white with magenta tip to the tail.  Two thirds of the cerata from the base are a lighter magenta, followed by a band of pale orange, a band of magenta and
orange tips.  The foot is pale orange.

I'm pretty sure this is another specimen of the species Adam Powell just sent a message about. As I said before it does look like an undescribed species of Flabellina.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
