Hypselodoris iacula from Sulawesi

From: Mary Jane Adams

Hi Bill,
Here is another beauty from Sulawesi. I photographed it crawling over a sand patch at "Pulau Putus" in Lembeh Strait Aug. 8, 2001. This dive site is a coral reef slope on the Lembeh Island side at the far end of the strait. It was about 5 cm long and about 15 meters deep.
Is it a recognized species?
Best regards,
Mary Jane
