Dear all, I am an amateur diver in Tokyo. This is my first appearance in this site.
I saw the same animal in last August at Oshima island, located 100km south of Tokyo. The animal was found at 3m deep, crawling behind hydroids. Water temperature was 23C and the length of the animal was 15mm.
I thought that was a juvenile of Pteraeolidia ianthina.
I also will be happy to have its correct name.

Welcome to the Forum. As you will see from Terry Gosliner's message, Babakina festiva is either a very variable species, or else there are a number of related species in different parts of the world. It would perhaps be useful to know how much variation in colour is found in animals from Japan. Was your animal exactly the same colour as Atsushi's photo?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
