Flabellina sp.
» If you find this species has been misidentified, please let us know
Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: Probably an undescribed species. The expanded mantle margin between the ceratal clusters (visible on the upper (= right) side of this animal) indicates this species belongs to the Flabellinidae, but determination of families of aeolids based only on external characters visible in photos cannot be always precise. The characters that separate the families of aeolids are largely internal and there is considerable convergence between families.
