Dear Bill,
Here are 2 shots from the Philippines, Cabilao island, divesite "Lighthouse", nightdive. It looks like Facelina rhodopos, though the pink tips of the cerata are pretty poor.

data:
length 12mm
depth 6m
date 26 Feb. 2003
Cheers,
Erwin

Thanks Erwin,
I am pretty sure it is Facelina rhodopos. The general colour pattern, shape and angled ridges on the rhinophores certainly fit this species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
