Dear Ferda,
Two good external features of this species are the way the cerata in each group have a common stalk, and that the purple jawplates can be seen through the body wall. Both these can be seen in your photo. I am not sure if this species has been reported from Turkey before. I can only find references from the western end of the Mediterranean
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
