Note added 14 July 2006: This must be D. tuberculosa. See Bruce Potter's message from the Solomons [#12381] reporting that this colour form has white spots on the underside of the mantle.

Dear Dong Bum,
I suspect this is a form of either Dendrodoris tuberculosa or Dendrodoris carbunculosa. Is it quite small? perhaps it is a juvenile colour form. Since the tubercles on the mantle are not very typical it is difficult to use them to determine what species it is, so perhaps you can remember whether the ventral side of the mantle had large white spots or not. If it did it would suggest that it is D. tuberculosa.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
