Dear Dr. Rudman and Miquel,

I think Miquel's animal is Jorunna tomentosa. Here is one photo of a juvenile specimen of this species collected in the Strait of Gibraltar (Southern Spain) showing several aspects of its external anatomy and coloration such as a mantle covered with caryophyllidia and brown spots

Best wishes,
Alma

Thanks Alma,
I tend to agree with you. Photos which don't show any esential features are very difficult to be sure about, although to local experts they are often quite obvious.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
