Bill,
In Mark's message it looks like there is a small yellow 'branch with dark spots in the lower left corner of the upper pic. It's hard to tell in this small of a picture.

Dear Phil,
It's always dangerous to look in the background of photos -you sometimes see things you missed in the field and wish you had seen. I've reproduced a section of Mark's original photo alongside and ringed the only thing that looks 'sluggy' to me. It could possibly be a juvenile Aphelodoris with darker gills, but that's only a guess.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
