Dear Dr. Rudman,
Here is another one of the aeolids I need to identify, this one is also from Playa Mismaloya, Bahia de Banderas, Pacific Coast of Mexico, on April 6th. I found it 38 feet deep. It was 5 mm long.
Thanks for taking a look at it.

Hermosillo, A., 2002 (Apr 27) Aeolid # 2 from Bahia de Banderas. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6754Dear Ali,
At 5 mm, it is most probably a juvenile. Its shape suggests a glaucid of some sort. Two interesting features are the orange markings in the midline and the hint of a swelling or lamella on the right rhinophore in the upper photo. Both would fit Hermissenda crassicornis but we will need someone with knowledge of juveniles to help us.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
