Could this be Elysia gordanae ?

Hi Bill,
Looking at the pictures taken by my friend Eric after a dive, we were surprised to discover a crawling small green slug on the Hypselodoris picta.
Could this be Elysia gordanae?
Locality: Cannes, 18 m, France, Mediterranean sea, 18 July 2007. Length: 5 mm. Photographer: Eric Poisson.
Many thanks for your help and kind regards,
Dom.

I can see how your friend missed the elysiid. It is certainly hard to see on the Hypselodoris. The elysiid certainly looks like E. gordanae to me. Hopefully Kathe Jensen can confirm that for us.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
