Chromodoris michaeli from Sulawesi

Hi Dr Rudman,
I've attached the photos of a variation of a Chromodoris found in the Wakatobi National Park, SE Sulawesi, Indonesia. It does not seem to be C. magnifica nor does it seem to be C. annae.

Dear David,
I'm pretty sure this is C. michaeli. Although the black lines are broken, the punctate pattern in the blue region and the submarginal orange line seem to fit.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
