Hi Bill,
Attached is a photo by Johny Leffelaer

It is from Moalboal, Cebu Is., Philippines.
I think it looks like Hoplodoris sp. or something like that.

Dear Erwin,
It is a form of Dendrodoris denisoni. If you see a photo of an animal with very swollen rhinophore stalks and disproportionately large gills, like in this photo, you can be pretty sure it is a species of Dendrodoris. This doesn't mean that their rhinophore stalks always look swollen and their gills disproportionately large, but I don't know of other dorids that ever look like this.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
