Hi Dr Rudman,
I saw this very pretty nudibranch while diving in the waters off Pinnacle, Similand Islands, Phuket, Thailand, in February this year.

Dear Barbara,
This is Chromodoris glenei, which is basically an Indian Ocean species, although there is an anomalous record on the Forum of a find in the Solomon Ids. It has an apparently closely related counterpart in the Westen Pacific called Chromodoris coi.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
