There were several of these "Sea Lemons" at St Cats yesterday.
This was the biggest one I saw at nearly 4 ins long
Doris or Archidorus Pseudoargus? or maybe Pleurobranchus membranaceus?

When it's dark they have the gills out (a feathery structure) at the blue patch on the picture.
They withdraw them when exposed to light (a dive torch).
To get pictures with the gills out keep light off them until ready to take the picture then take your picture within a few seconds after you illuminate it.
