Dear Chris,

This is Nembrotha mullineri. It is interesting to see the commensal shrimps. I am pretty sure they are Periclimenes imperator, a species usually associated with Hexabranchus sanguineus, but also found at times on  a variety of large dorid nudibranchs and pleurobranchs.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
