Dendrodoris tuberculosa from Sulawesi

Dear Bill,
Here is one of two nudies I found in the Lembeh Straits [Sulawesi, Indonesia] during May of this year. They were on a sandy / silty bottom at about 40-50 feet, water temp 82 degrees F, no current to speak of. The orange and spotted one was found at about 8PM, this one was found during the afternoon. Does anybody recognize it?

This is Dendrodoris tuberculosa which is found throughout the Indo-West Pacific. One quick way to identify it is to look on the underside of the mantle (difficult in a photo I must admit) where there are scattered large white spots.
Your other species is another species of Dendrodoris, Dendrodoris guttata.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
