Dear Dr Bill,
I found this nudibranch on a silt-covered reef slope while diving at Pulau Hantu. Is this a colour variation of Phestilla melanobrachia?
Locality: Pulau Hantu, 10m, Singapore , South China Sea, 31 August 2008, Silt-covered reef slope. Length: 30mm. Photographer: Toh Chay Hoon.
Thank you,
Chay Hoon

Dear Chay Hoon,
Yes this is the orange colour form of P. melanobrachia.
