Here is what I think is Chromodoris preciosa. It was found crawling on an old piece of wood at a dive site known as 'The Slipway'.
Date: August 2001
Location: Kavieng, Papua New Guinea
Depth: 5 metres
Length: 2.5 cm.

Thanks Marli,
This is an interesting photo showing the outermost mantle band to consist of a series of opaque white 'glands' or 'sacs', and lacking the normal opaque white pigmentation.
Best wishes,
