Chromodorid from Sodwana, Sth Africa

Hi Bill,
Here is a nudi which I photographed in January at Sodwana in Kwa Zulu Natal, South
Africa.

Stringer Reef, Sodwana, 7 January 2004

It is not a very good photo but is the best I have. Maybe you can still identify it.

Dear Charles,
This is the same as a photo of Valda Fraser's which I tentatively identified as Chromodoris alius but which maybe a form of C. aureopurpurea if that species proves to live in the Indian Ocean as well as the Pacific. Unfortunately neither your photo or Valda's are clear enough to make out any details
Best wishes
