Dear Bill
These photos were made at Dauin, Negros, Philippines, (October 1998). I did only the 2 shots, we were looking for seahorses at this dive site (and found 2) and I almost lost my buddies, so I had to hurry. Size about 2cm, depth 23m.

I am pretty sure this is Dendrodoris carbunculosa. It was described by Kelaart from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) which has either been ignored or considered a synonym of Dendrodoris tuberculosa. Perhaps they are just extreme forms of one species but I have not seen any intermediates.
Bill Rudman.
