Dear Erwin & Udo,
This is Chromodoris joshi. Its most characteristic feature, separating from other black lined species is the mottled white blotches all over the mantle. In this photo, which is a bit overexposed, the white blotches can only be clearly seen in the shaded region below the gills.
Bill Rudman.
