Chromodorid from Persian Gulf

Note added 10 July 2004: This species has been named Chromodoris cazae. [m12679].

Hi Bill,
I made contact with you over a year ago with regards to this nudibranch but at that stage was unable to attach the picture. Luckily I have overcome that problem now. I took this picture in the Persian Gulf while I was employed out there about 20 years ago in a place called Doha, Qatar. The animal was just over an inch long.

Hope you can identify it for me.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Dear Tony,
I am pretty sure it is a species of Chromodoris but I don't think I have ever seen this colour pattern before. I suspect it is an unnamed species so I will call it Chromodoris sp. 15 at present.

If you have more precise locality and date information it would be useful to include it as a record
Best wishes
