Photograph taken by Daniela Wolf taken in Raja Ampat, Indonesia

Comment from Dr. Richard Willan: This looks too flat to be a pleurobranch. I think it’s a flatworm.

"It looks like they're either a species of Acanthozoon or of Thysanozoon. The exact genus can only be determined by checking how many male pores there are on the ventral side. Both of these genera are characterized by papillate dorsal surfaces which are evident in these two picts."
