Dear Bill,
Ferda's photo reminds me the brownish colour form of Cratena peregrina, which is quite common in Turkish waters. In this form the cerata are brown in colour with fluorescent blue tips like the one in M. Poddubetskaia's message. The bright yellow tips of the long rhinophores are also look similar with that of C. peregrina.
Best wishes

Dear Baki,
I totally agree with your comments. As I said to Ferda, without a good look at an aeolid's head, identification can be difficult. Local knowledge makes all the difference. Without the characteristic red marks being visible, I doubt if I would have thought of C. peregrina.
Thanks,
Bill Rudman
