Hi Bill,
Can you confirm? Looking at the fact sheet, it says the Nembrotha livingstonei is characterised by a white mark between the rhinophores but this has a yellow patch.

Locality: Malapascua, 9 m, Philippines, 23 February. Length: 6 cm. Photographer: Colin Teo.

Dear Colin,

This group of Nembrotha species still has some sorting out to do, but my feeling is that all these animals with a white - or yellowish - cross mark between the rhinophores will turn out to be the same species.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
