Dear Bill
Attached are 3 photos of 2 different specimens of Notodoris minor I photographed recently on Stewarts Reef, offshore of Tufi, Papua New Guinea. Depth was about 26m, and water temp 28C. N. minor was quite abundant at this reef, and also at the nearby, aptly named, Minor Reef.
Gills are showing quite clearly in the Upper right photo.

Thanks Des,
I see in the Lower Right photo that the Notodoris has almost completely eaten the colony of calcareous sponge it is sitting on, and is almost surrounded by piles of discarded sponge spicules.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
