Hi Bill,
Not too sure on the ID of this Nudi I came across in Northern Sulawesi in May. Looks like Chromodoris magnifica, but I'm not so sure as this has horizontal grey bands across its back...

Locality: Bangka Island, Nothern Sulawesi, Indonesia. Depth: 8 m. Length: 3 cm. Middle of May. Sandy bottom (off coral reef). Photographer: Dr Bob Whorton

Dear Bob,
This is another of the black-lined species, in this case Chromodoris strigata. I am particularly interested in the grey sponge in the front of the photo which this slug seems interested in. Could you have a look at other photos you have of this animal and see if one shows the sponge in more detail. Although it doesn't actually look to be feeding, it looks as though it is an association worth following up on.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
