Dear Bill,
Concerning your comments about this animal. Some time ago Fred had to undergo an operation. Now he's getting better. Here are the same shots again, still with a little blue cast. I don't think it is a juvenile Elysia ornata because of the black Y on the head and the upper part of the rhinopores and it's size (2cm). The general colour is beige with a little greenish touch. As you suspected the border is black with an orange line inside.

Thanks Erwin,
It certainly clarifies the colours but I still don't recognise it
Cheers,
