Dear Howard,
This is a rather sick looking Cerberilla tanna. The more specimens I see the more confident I feel about my identification. The species of the the genus Cerberilla are rather unique amongst the aeolid in spending most of their life burrowing in soft sediments, where they apparently feed on sea anemones.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
