Dear Kenji,
This is Thorunna daniellae. It does not usually have a row of submarginal purple spots around the edge of the mantle, but in Mike Miller's message there is a photo of an animal with traces of purple spots. Although it is a bit hard to see, the purple spots are some distance from the edge of the mantle, the actual mantle edge lacking any pigmentation and appearing almost transparent
Best wishes
