Dear Bill,

I send you the photo of an aerolid which I can't ID. It is taken in French mediterranean coast.

Locality: Lerins islands, France, Mediterranean Sea, 1998. Photographer: François Zylberman.

Thank you for your help.

Dear François,

I am pretty sure this is Flabellina ischitana. Another species which is of similar colour and has the cerata arranged on a common stalk like this is F. affinis. However in that species there is an opaque purple band around the cerata, just below the white tip, which can't be seen in your photo. 

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
