Dear Bill
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I attach enlarged image files. Can you see the white tipped papillae on the parapodia and along the parapodial edge, and the head wart?

Is it sure to be Elysia setoensis ?

Best regards,
Satoru Hori.

Dear Satoru,
Thanks for the enlarged photos. I have cut out the back half of your photo of the whole animal. It clearly shows the raised tubercles (arrows) on the sides and edge of the parapodia.

The head wart in the lower photo is not so clear. I am not sure whether the white region is a raised lump or just a white patch.

As far as I can tell this is Elysia setoensis although I must say I have never seen this species alive and am relying on published descriptions.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
