Dear Willy,
I am pretty sure this is a species of Cuthona but I will need some help in identifying the species.
In the close-up photo alongside parts of the digestive system are clealry seen. The whitish triangular object with black speckles is the oesophagus-stomach region, swollen with recently eaten food. The yellowish lines are ducts connecting to the digestive gland duct in each ceras, where the food is digested and absorbed.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
