Dear Bill,
Reunion Island sea slugs.

We have only one specimen of this species, observed by Maurice Jay a few years ago...It seems to a specimen of Favorinus tsuruganus

Best Regards

Dear Philibert,
I think your identification is correct but I can't see any of the distinguishing features, such as the shape of the rhinophores, to be 100% certain. 
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
