Concerning message #16174:
I wonder if Minette's animal might be Peltodoris nobilis? That species can be quite orange when living on a red sponge like this and is relatively large with black spots.

I see your point but I do not think there is enough information in her photo to make that jump. Additionally the mantle texture just doesn't appear to have the large uniform tubercles of P. nobilis. Given the size and intertidal substrate I think we need to stay with Rostanga.
I like your open thinking though.
Best wishes,
Dave Behrens
