Thanks Erwin,
This is an interesting species of Chromodoris. From its colour pattern it seems to be a sibling species of the western Pacific species Chromodoris coi. Originally described from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and subsequently reported from Tanzania and the Maldives (Rudman, 1987), this species appears to have a wide Indian Ocean distribution.
