From: J. Ben Souissi and A. Eters
Dear Bill,
This Aplysia is another of the opisthobranchs we found in a coastal lagoon, "Lac de Tunis" [south section] in Tunis, Tunisia, North Africa. Depth: 0 to 1m some time between January and March, 2003.
Can you identify it please.
Thanks,
Jamila Ben Souissi and Anis Eters

It is not easy to identify the species from this angle but the broad sucker-like foot make me think it is most probably Aplysia depilans
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
