Dear Bill,
I hope you can identify this photo of an Elysia I saw last January at Hachijo Island, Japan. I saw this animal only once.
Depth : 5m
Size : 25mm

Best regards,

Dear Shouichi,
I sometimes wonder if there is a secret factory in Japan making new species of Elysia. Japan must have the most diverse fauna of these animals in the world. I am afraid I don't know this species either.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
