Dear Dr. Rudman,
Thanks for your reply. It was between 10 to 15 cm long. It was on a sponge - an unidentified sponge (I'm also sending a picture) that was on a black coral (Anthipathes galapagensis).

I'm also sending you a close-up of what I think is the rhinophore. I hope you find these useful
Best regards

Dear Angel,
Thanks for the photos. Your sponge certainly is distinctive but I don't know if it has any relevance to the mystery 'slug'. The object you identify as a possible rhinophore certainly could be a rhinophore, but I still have no idea what it is.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
