Dear Valda,
It is a good find. Did you see it flapping all its mantle edge up and down at the same time? It is characteristic of this and only a few other species. It would be good to know if you did, as you might then be able to compare it with the behaviour of Chromodoris cf. geminus which I am pretty sure now is a distinct species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
