Bill,
this one was taken by Udo Jansen, Duisburg, Germany, Email: u.jansen@planet-interkom.de
at "Sinan Digan", Mindoro Is., Philippines, July 29, 1999. Size 40 mm, depth 22 m
Is it a colour-variant of Nembrotha chamberlaini or something else?

I don't know if this is a colour form of Nembrotha chamberlaini or not. I think, until we have word to the contrary, that I will list it as Nembrotha sp. 8. It certainly has similarities in colour pattern but we would need to have some anatomical similarities or intermediate colour forms to be sure.
