Caribbean nudi?

I found this teeny tiny nudi one night at the end of a dive at about 20 feet deep. I believe it measured at around 1/4 inch. I sent to Bill (Sea Slug Forum) but he's on holiday for a few days. Can anyone else help identify it?

If Bill's off for a while you should send it to our mollusc curator, Angel Valdes <avaldes@nhm.org>. His speciality is nudibranchs, Caribbean ones in particular.

I am pretty sure this is a Trapania dalva - here is the link on the Sea Slug Forum to it:
