Tylodina perversa

I´d be greatly appreciative if someone could tell me the English name of this incredible animal.  It´s loud-yellow color and small shell on its back are unmistakable.  We´ve only found this animal in one place of all of the Costa Brava, in Spain...and I´m not saying where!  They range in size:  of the 4-5 we´ve seen all seem to be in the 6" range when traveling.  Here, the rhinophores are clearly seen as it´s scaling a rock face.  Enjoy the photo.
