Thorunna sp. 3

Order: NUDIBRANCHIA
Family: Chromodorididae

Locality: Tablamu, 6 metres, Phangnga, Thailand, Andaman Sea, 27 February 2010, Rocky shoreline. Length: Approx. 8 mm. Photographer: Lawrence Neal.

From the orange mark on the front of the mantle this is most probably a species of Thorunna, but if so, it does not seem to fit any existing species - even allowing for a bit of variation. It could well be a juvenile, but even so it doesn't seem to fit.
