Dear Bill,
Is this one Chromodoris africana?

Dear Erwin,
I'm afraid this isn't C. africana either. It is Hypselodoris regina, another of these black lined chromdorids. It has a much higher and narrower body than species of Chromodoris, and the gills are triangular in cross-section and edged in orange.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
