Dear Bill,
These photos are from my recent trip to the Maldives (which are recovering slowly from El Nino, i.e. the corals are growing again). Both were about 15 cm apart from each other at 25 m depth.
EK114911 is 17mm,
EK114912 is 22 mm long.
South Male Atoll, Guraidhoo Island, divesite

Dear Erwin,
This is Chelidonura punctata, a spectacularly coloured species of Chelidonura which seems to be restricted to the Indian Ocean.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
