Dear Dr. Rudman,

This aeolid I found at Los Arcos, Bahia de Banderas, Pacific Coast of Mexico, 27 feet deep on April 14th. This 6 mm long specimen was under a rock with 4 other smaller ones (4, 3, 3, and 3 mm long).

Again, thanks for taking a look at it.

Dear Ali,
You are probably one of the first people to look for and photograph such small nudibranchs in your part of the world. I suspect this is an adult and its either a species of Eubranchus or Cuthona. Not much help I'm afraid but I suspect you will need to have a look at its radula to be sure.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
