Dear Bill

I made this low quality photo at Belle-Isle, Brittany , France. Is it a Crimora papillata near Chartella papyracea?

Locality: Belle-Isle, Brittany, France, Atlantic coast. Depth: 12 m. Length: 2.5 cm. 11 june 2005. Photographer: Stephane Ores

Thank you

Dear Stephane,
Yes the nudibranch is Crimora papillata, but I'm afraid I am not an expert on Atantic bryozoans. I can see in the bottom right of the photo part of the blade-like branching colony it is on. It looks quite like Chartella papyracea but I don't know if there is enough detail in the photo to confim its identity.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
