Dear.Andrew,
Your mollusc reminds me of Acanthodoris pilosa Abildgaard in Mueller,1789, -soft small conical tubercles, characteristic prominences on the border of rhinophorial sheaths. The White Sea specimens of A. pilosa that I have observed feed exclusively on the encrusting bryozoan Flustrella hispida Fabricius, abundant on the 'leaves' of the intertidal brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum L.
