Ron Silver Yes, the dark and light coloration and 'bump' on the head are quite distinctive for the Headshield Slug, Philinopsis pilsbryi.

Rafi Amar Hi. I found this in Eilat, Red sea, It was about 10 m deep and its length was about 1.5-2 Cm. I can't really identify it. Thanks

Lindz Warren Philinopsis pilsbryi (Eliot, 1900) is a possible id.

Blogie Robillo Yes, I think this is P. pilsbryi.

Deb Aston Patrik Good and I think this one has eaten a Philinopsis pilsbryi, what do you think?

Deb Aston We found two Philinopsis pilsbryi on the same dive.

Laura Dinraths Seen on 01/04/2013 at Canyon, Dahab, Eg. I know it's not a nudi but... Can't find it in the Red Sea books and I think it could be a Philinopsis pilsbryi - don't know if it's been seen in the Red Sea before (I saw there was a second one smaller behind it when I checked the picture afterwards!). Any one?

Jim Anderson I agree - Philinopsis pilsbryi
