Comment from Richard Willan: This photo shows a juvenile Hexabranchus sanguineus that has just grown to the size where it is able to fold the edges of its mantle over its back (I would guess about 40 mm long)– notice the separate gills with the anus in the middle of them appearing as a small white papilla.
