Dear Bill
Here is a photo of Cumanotus beaumonti swimming. I remember now that when I moved the Cumanotus to get a better picture it actively swam by waving its body and cerata. 

Locality: Paguro Shipwreck, 20, Italy, Adriatic sea, 25 April 2006, wreck. Length: 4 cm. Photographer: Cristian Magnani.

Best wishes
Cristian

Thanks Cristian,
With your help we've have quickly learnt a lot about this rarely observed nudibranch.
