Hello Bill,
Alma Sanchez's educated guess to call this Dorid seaslug Jorunna tomentosa seems to me quite realistic. Obviously we see insufficient details of the animal on the picture to be 100% sure. The brown markings on the side and the texture of the mantle seem to indicate that this is correct. Also this animal was found well within it known West-European distribution range: Faeroes to the Mediterranean (Picton, 1994)
