Dear Bill,
This one showed it's Pleurobranchaea-head when crawling, but when I tried to get a picture it looked as shown. I think this is Pleurobranchaea brockii. I photographed it in the Philippines, Negros Oriental Island, divesite "Dauin".

Size - 38mm

Thanks Erwin,
Photographing bashful slugs is an unfortunate occupational hazard. If only they realized they were being recorded for posterity. I agree with your identification -certainly the colour pattern fits,
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
