Dear Bill,
Attached for the Forum are photos of three examples of Okenia impexa from Abaco, Bahamas.

Thanks Colin,
I didn't think I would be adding another Okenia Fact Sheet to the Forum so quickly. From your photos you can see the four anterior tentacular-like mantle papillae which certainly make this species quite easy to identify.
Best wishes
