Dear Bill,
Here is another photo taken in front of Marine Biological Station in Piran, Slovenia. It is probably Jorunna tomentosa crawling on a sponge Chondrilla nucula.
Locality: Piran, Slovenia, Adriatic Sea. Spring 2005. muddy, some rocks and algae. Photographer: Tihomir Makovec
Best regards,

I also think this is Jorunna tomentosa. The close-up alongside shows the spiculate tubercles [caryophyllidia] which give the mantle its 'furry' appearance, and hence the name 'tomentosa', from hairy in Latin.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
