Hi Bill, happy new year!
This one was taken on the last day of last year in a trip for new year dive.
BTW, is it true all nudibranch has the reproduction organ on the right side?

Yes the reproductive opening in nudibranchs are on the right side. In your photo, you can't see the egg ribbon emerging but you can see how the back of the foot is used to manipulate the egg ribbon and help in the process of fastening it to the rock in a spiral.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
