Hi Bill,
Here is the first of many from my July, 2002 trip to Lembeh Straight. From Coleman's book, it appears to be Hypselodoris annae, but I can't locate it on the Forum.

Location: Nudi Falls, Lembeh Straight, North Suluwesi,Indonesia

Dear Marli,
This is Hypselodoris emma. Coleman has 'corrected' it to Hypselodoris emmae. When I named this species after one of my daughters I deliberately treated 'emma' as a noun in apposition, rather than as an adjective, thus avoiding the need to change the spelling - and the pronunciation - from 'emma' to 'emmae'.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
