Hi!
I'm absolutely sure the picture is Facelina bostoniensis as Bill suspected. I have earlier made a little notice on F. bostoniensis feeding on the sea pen Virgularia mirabilis from the Trondheim fjord where we found this nudibranch feeding on the sea pen both in situ and in the aquaria.

• Evertsen, J. & Bakken, T. 1999. Additional data on the food-preferences of the nudibranch Facelina bostoniensis (Couthouy, 1838) (Aeolidoidea: Facelinidae). Opisthobranch Newsletter, 25: 33-34.

Thanks Jussi,
I'm afraid I missed your note on this animal feeding on Virgularia mirabilis. Do you know of any other aeolids which have been reported to feed on sea pens?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
