Erwin,
The best way to separate Chromodoris annae externally from Chromodoris elisabethina is the punctate blue pattern on the mantle. I can't really be sure in this photo and the black median line is intermediate between the short line between the rhinophores normally found in C. annae and the long, often entire, line found in C. elisabethina. Another feature which seems characteristic of C. annae is the distinctive thin white band at the mantle edge, which is visible in your photo.
