Dear Bill,
This animal has a very characteristic appearance but I have no idea what it is.

Masayoshi, N., 2002 (Apr 25) Cerberilla from Japan. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6665Dear Nishina,
This is almost certainly another species of Cerberilla, although the rhinophores are proportionally very big for a species of that genus. I don't recognise the colour pattern so I will call it Cerberilla sp. 6 until we have a better name for it.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
