Dermatobranchus from Solomon Ids

Bill,
I found this one at about 16 meters, on a rubble and coral site just near Honiara, Solomon Islands.

It was about 40mm long. Can you ID it for me?

Thanks

Dear Bruce,
Yes it is a species of Dermatobranchus but at this stage we have little understanding of colour variation within a species. I would need to look at its anatomy to say anything more than that it is a species of Dermatobranchus.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
