Berghia verrucicornis from Senegal

Dear Bill,
The adventure from Dakar (Senegal) continues with this eolid. Could you confirm that it is the colour form of Berghia verrucicornis described by Malcolm Edmunds, please?

Patrice took this photo in April 1999 at a depth of 18m. The name of the site was ‘Gouye teni M'bot’ which meaning is ‘the baobab in front of the M'bot quarter’.

Best wishes,

Dear Marina & Patrice,
As far as I can see it fits Malcolm Edmunds description of B. verrucicornis from Ghana. However I can't see whether the rhinophores are papillate, and they don't seem to have a white tip as he describes.
