Dear Armando

I think from the arrangement of the cerata, its colour, and the smooth rhinophores, that this is Flabellina dushia. If so, this would be another new record from Brazil, as I think this species is known only from the Caribbean and the eastern Atlantic Canary Ids and Cape Verde Ids.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
