Hi Bill,
I took this shot in Tulamben, Bali, Indonesia. Just in front of Mimpi Resort, you will find many juvenile nudibranch there. However, I can't ID this. Can you help me?

Dear Erwin,
This is a nice message to accompany your other one which shows Chelidonura varians [message #15401]. This is the other one of  the pair -Philinopsis gardineri. This photo shows the most obvious difference between Philinopsis and Chelidonura which is the blunt posterior end of Philinopsis with a small central notch, while Chelidonura has long tapering 'tails'.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
