Dear Bill,
Is this Chromodoris kuiteri? it is from Tenements 1, Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland.

Dear Nerida,
Yes, it's C. kuiteri. Similar in general appearance to Chromodoris magnifica, but one major difference is that in C. magnifica the inside edge of the orange border is adjacent to a white region, while in C.kuiteri there is a black band alongside the inner edge of the orange border.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
