Dear Bill,
I think this is Glossodoris atromarginata. I collected it at Rangiroa, French Polynesia, August, 2000.

Dear Daniel,
This does look like G. atromarginata but I am pretty sure this is Glossodoris sibogae which is similar in colour, but the colours are much more intense. the only way to be sure is to have a look at the anatomy, because in G. sibogae the radular teeth are half the size of those of similarly sized specimens of G. atromarginata.
