Thanks Gilma, António and Mark. What motivated me to look for nudibranchs was the lack of information available to the general audience regarding which species were living in Portugal. In fact, until 2008 there was only one field guide ("Fauna Submarina Atlântica" by Prof. Luiz Saldanha) which had only half a dozen species, one of which was this one. The field guide "Sea Slugs of the Algarve" which I co-authored with Gonçalo Calado in 2012 has 115 species. And I've found some more since.
