Dear Marco,
This is Chromodoris marislae. As you will see for earlier messages on the Forum I suspect this species may not be a Chromodoris, as the arrangement of the glands in its mantle (under the orange patches) are rather different. Someone needs to re-examine its anatomy.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
