Dear Bill,
Here is one from, Peyrole, Vanuatu, 1997. It was sheltering under a stone during low tide. Approx 3cm long.

Yours sincerely,
Vinka Stenhouse.

Note added 5 June 2007: This is most probably Paradoris erythraeensis. See message #19978.

Dear Vinka,
In Marshall & Willan's recent book on Great Barrier Reef opisthobranchs this is a species of Platydoris. [Platydoris sp. 1, Fig 144].

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
