Below is comment from Dr. Bill Rudman, go to Sea Slug Forum to read more information
Dear Mike,
This is an unnamed species I have on the Forum as Aplysiopsis sp. 1. It looks like an aeolid but as you can see in the close-up of the head, alongside, that it only has one pair of head tentacles, which is a pretty good indication that it is a sacoglossan rather than a nudibranch.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
