Hugues Flodrops

Locality : On the rocky coast

Length : 45 mm

Depth : less 1m

Date : 28 November 2007

It 's a photo of Philinopsis cyanea .  The black and blue specimen has similarities to P. gardineri but that species has a round (high rounded bump on the head) rather than truncate anterior end of the body.
