Hi guys,
Here is a photo of Chromodoris macfarlandi I took on our recent trip to San Miguel Island [Channel Ids, California] in July 2004.

Thanks Bruce,
I guess it is on one of its food sponges, perhaps Aplysilla glacialis? It's remarkable how similar in colour it is to Mexichromis porterae, as illustrated in Chris Grossman's recent message [#12727].
Best wishes
