Melibe mirifica (Allan 1932). To 30 cm. Small rhinophores and conical, unbranched ceratal tubercles. This specimen in N. Sulawesi's Lembeh Strait (tentative identification). A huge animal (about a foot in length) with a "extensible head" that came out every few seconds, seemingly sampling the substrate for food. SeaSlugForum: http://www.seaslugforum.net/melimiri.htm
