Dear Bill,
Here are some photos of Cratena peregrina. This eolid is easy to recognise because of its two orange-red patches on the head. The photos are from Cerbere, on the Mediterranean coast of France.

Upper: July 03, 2002, Site: Port-bou., Depth: 5m, Size: 3-4cm.
Lower: June 30, 2002, Site: Canadells., Depth: 16m, Size: 2-3cm.

Best wishes,
Marina.

Thanks Marina,
The combination of red marks on the head, and cerata with red digestive gland and blue tips certainly make this a very recognisable species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
