Dear Brian,
This is a quite a spectacularly coloured aeolid which I am sure is an adult, even though of small size. Although the rhinophores look a little out of proportion - a little long for an animal this size- the cerata are well organised and numerous. I am afraid I don't recognise it and I can't see anything of the front of the foot, but my guess would be that it is a species of Cuthona
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
