Hi Bill,
I thought the body shape on this nudibranch a bit unusual. I believe it is Phyllidiopsis shireenae.

Dear Marli,
Yes this is Phyllidiopsis shireenae. For some reason the back half of its body is a bit twisted. I don't know if its from damage or whether its been a bit slow in straightening out after crawling over something crooked.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
