Dear Bill,
Please see an attached, an animals which may be a kind of Cuthona or Eubranchus. It was a sole species, found on the wall overhung at a depth of 12m and measured 5mm in length. I couldn't find any picture of similar animal in some books I have. Would appreciate your advice.

Regards,
S. Kato

Dear Shouichi,
I'm afraid I have can't help identify this beautiful animal. The shape of the cerata are quite suggestive of Phyllodesmium, but that is only a guess.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
