Dear Bill
This is another species of sea slug found in in the southern section of a coastal lagoon, "Lac de Tunis" in Tunis, Tunisia, North Africa. Depth: 0 to 1m some time between January and March, 2003. It is part of the collection my student, Anis, has already inquired about.
Cordially yours
Jamila

Dear Jamila,
This is an interesting one. It is a species of Cerberilla, a genus of burrowing aeolids, which feed on sea anemones. I am pretty sure this is Cerberilla bernadettae, which I think has only been reported from the Alantic coast of France.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
