Dear Bill,
Thank you for your earlier replies.
When I found this animal,it was crawling on a hydroid. I think this animal is similar to Cuthona punicea.
Data:
Location: Kushimoto Japan
Length: 5mm
Water temperature: 16C
Date Feb. 2000
Depth: -15m
Crawling on Solanderia
Could you please identify this animal for me?
Best regards,
Yasuhiro Shirai.

I don't recognise this little aeolid but someone else may. It is possible that it is Cuthona punicea which was described by sandra Millen from near Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in Canada. perhaps sandra can give us her opinion.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
