Dear Baki,
I suspect this is Flabellina ischitana, like the other photos, but there are some differences. This one also has lamellate rhinophores, but they seem to be more numerous like in F. affinis. However the rhinophores are white with no purple. In fact there is no sign of purple anywhere. The ceratal wall is transparent, like F. ischitana, but I am not sure.

I would be grateful for some thoughts from some of you more familar with the Mediterranean fauna. [See also Baki's message with photos of Flabellina pedata]

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
