Identification is verified by Marta Pola, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Marta Pola: This is not so clear. I would say it could be Tambja tentaculata because of the large developed oral tentacles and the color pattern but I haven't dissected any specimens like this.

Dear Jerry,
You are right to be hesitant with this. It is probably a species of Tambja, but the large oral tentacles are very reminiscent of a species of Roboastra. One possibility is Tambja tentaculata but I am beginnig to wonder if we are right to push everything with large oral tentacles and a greenish colour into that species. Perhaps Marta Pola can help.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
