Dear Narongpon,
Yes this is what has been recently named Chromodoris mandapamensis, but as you will see from earlier comments I have made on the Forum I strongly suspect that it is a spotted colour form of Chromodoris striatella. In fact I have found juveniles with spots and lines. If you get the chance to see it feeding or laying eggs, photos would be very useful.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
