Dear Erwin,
I am pretty sure this is a dark form of Pleurobranchus grandis. At the bottom of the photo you can see the compound tubercles which are characteristic of the species. You can also see the posterior part of the mantle extended into a large siphon, also typical of P. grandis.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
