Dear Adam,
Thanks for the message. Peter Vogt's Nembrotha message has arrived and solved. Unfortunately I can't be so quick at identifying your species, which is probably, as you suggest, a species of Flabellina. If you can send a larger scan it might be possible to see some more details, like shape of the rhinophores etc. Look forward to the Hypselodoris pics.
Anyone else got ideas on this species?

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
