Dear Yukari,
This is a species of Goniodoris and it is possible it is the species illustrated from the Indian Ocean coast of South Africa by Terry Gosliner (1987: photo 162) as Goniodoris. Certainly the external colour looks the same. As far as I know it doesn't have a name at present

• Gosliner, T., 1987. Nudibranchs of Southern Africa.

Best wishes
