Dear Bill,
Thanks for posting the pictures.

In a later message Erwin Koehler suggested that this nudibranch could be a Facelina dubia http://www.medslugs.de/E/Mediterranean/Facelina_dubia.htm.

I look forward to any answers.
Thank you,
Miquel.

Dear Miquel,
Yes, Facelina dubia also fits quite well, but I don't know whether the distinctive blue lines on the oral tentacles are a problem in identifying it with that species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
