Dear Danny,
I am pretty sure this is Chromodoris hintuanensis, but the yellow spots are unusual. In fact the only other specimen I know of with yellow spots is also from Thailand. It makes me wonder whether it is perhaps mimicking other yellow-spotted species n the Andaman Sea such as Chromodoris annulata. Photos such as yours are very valuable in helping us to get a broad picture of colour variation across the geographic range of individual species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
