Diversidoris aurantionodulosa from South Africa

Hi Bill,
I have a nudi that I can't identify. Your help will be appreciated. It was very small so it may be a juvenile, but it does look like a Glossodoris to me.
Locality: Sodwana Bay, 14 metres, South Africa, Indian, 13 Jan 2007, coral reef. Length: 6 mm. Photographer: Colin Ogden.
Thanks a ton
regards
Colin

Ogden C. M., 2007 (Feb 13) Diversidoris aurantionodulosa from South Africa. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/19433Dear Colin,
I am pretty sure this is Diversidoris aurantionodulosa. There are a couple of records of this species from Suth Africa with a yellow background colour. There are traces of orange around the mantle edge, and scattered mantle papillae, though not orange-tipped. The gills and rhinophores appear orange-tipped.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
