Dear Bill,
Here is another of Daniel Geiger's photos which we are not sure of the identification.
Daniel thinks it might be Onchidoris inconspicua but I think this one looks different.

It is from Southern France, Ile de Bendor, July 1990.

Thanks Erwin,
I'll leave this to a local expert. It seems to have caryophyllidia over its mantle, like in species of Jorunna, but that may be an illusion.

Can anyone help us with an identification?

Bill Rudman.
