Cuthona concinna from Woods Hole, Massachusetts

Bill -
Here's another shot from Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. I believe it is Cuthona concinna and was hoping you or someone else could confirm the identification.

This one was in about 4 meters of water under the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute's pier with two other individuals. It was approximately 11mm long or so.

A fellow diver had dived the site a week or two before and had asked me to dive the area to see if I could identify the nudibranch he had seen. I was lucky enough to find a few specimens of what he had described.
Sincerely,
Alan Shepard

Dear Alan,
It certainly seems to fit that species to me, but a confirmation from either side of the Atlantic would be welcome.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
