Roboastra arika from Durban, South Africa

Dear Bill
I found this nudibranch on a wreck off Durban, South Africa, at a depth of 16 m. Its size is 4.5 cm. I think it could be of the family Polyceridae. Could you please help me with an ID

Thanks

Dear Kirsty,
This is Roboastra arika which has been reported from the Maldives, Thailand and the south western pacific (trop Australia and Papua New Guinea) so this is an interesting find.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
