Dear Asther,
This is Chromodoris leopardus. It has similarities to Risbecia tryoni, the subject of your recent messages, but three obvious external differences are the wide mantle skirt in C. leopardus, the colour of the rhinophores, and the form of the purple spots, which in C. leopardus usually form a quadrangular ring of four spots, much like in a leopard.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
