Hi Bill,
As discussed in my previous message [#20568] this is the orange form of the Chromodoris hamiltoni we encounter on our reefs. (there are many variations within this as well)
Locality: Sodwana Bay, 14 metres, South Africa, Indian, various, reef. Length: 50 mm. Photographer: Colin Ogden.

Ogden C.M., 2008 (Apr 28) Orange form of Chromodoris hamiltoni. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/20569Dear Colin,
Although it looks a bit more slender than more typical specimens I assume that is just the way it was crawling along when photographed. In colour it looks very like the animal in the bottom left photo on the Fact Sheet
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
