From: David Abecasis

Hello Bill,

I have found this small nudi which I had never seen and I would like some help to identify it.

Locality: Baixa do Sul, Canal Faial-Pico, Azores Islands, 16 meters, Azores islands, Portugal, Atlantic Ocean, 24 July 2007, rocky bottom covered with algae. Length: 5 mm. Photographer: David Abecasis.

Best regards,
David Abecasis

Dear David,

This is not a nudibranch, but it is an opisthobranch - Tylodina perversa. As you will see from earlier messages it belongs to a primitive group with a large limpet-like external shell.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
