Here is another nudibranch found off Pulau Aur, Malaysia. Found in 5 metres of water on it's own. 35mm in length. June 2002.
Happy diving,

Dear Rich,
This is Phyllodesmium briareum, which from recent messages seems to have been quite common recently in this part of Malaysia. I can't identify what it is on but if you look at some of the other information on this page you will see it seems to be a specialised soft coral feeder.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
