Could you please help me with the identification of this nudibranch. To me it looks like Flabellina sp. 1.

Dear Peter,
Yes this looks like the animal I have called Flabellina sp. 1. I wobndered if it was a Cuthona, but your photos show it has tentacular anterior foot corners, which are not found in that genus, so I think we can be pretty certain that it is a species of Flabellina, but it appears to be an unnamed species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
