Dear Dr Bill,
I found this Aeolid nudibranch during an intertidal trip to one of Singapore southern island. It was found on Bryopsis algae.
I can't seen to find a match in the species list. Would you kindly shed some light?
Locality: Big Sisters Island, 0m, Singapore, South China Sea, 08 February 2008, Intertidal . Length: 15 mm. Photographer: Toh Chay Hoon.
Thank you.

I feel I should recognise this species as it has quite distinctive features both in colour pattern and in the arrangement of the cerata. My best guess is that it is a species of Flabellina but until I know something about its internal anatomy, I can only make an informed guess. Hopefully someone will recognise it for us.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
