Dear Claus,
Thanks for this higher resolution photo. Apart from the rhinophore colour - or lack of it - I am pretty sure this is G. symmetricus. I have a little hesitation though, because almost every time I dissect a chromodorid of this colour pattern - white with orange or yellow mantle edge - but with slight differences from existing species I find something different. But at this stage we know too little about colour variability in this species
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
