Hello
Here's another nudi we encountered on one of our dives in Lembeh. I went through different books but didn't come to a conclusion. So I count on you to help me out.
I only have one shot, so I hope it's good enough to id this little nudi

Dear Mona,
I wish all my 'only shots' turned out as good as this. It is a little known species,Okenia kendi. In fact your find is only the second report of the species since it was named in 2004 so is a useful addition to our knowledge.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
