Mexichromis from Bali, Indonesia

Hello,
I found this nudibranch at Bali, Tulamben, Indonesia. It was night dive and he was under the stone.
Size is around one centimeter, so I thought that it's not adult yet. I have not found it from the books, so I would like to know what species this one is.

This is a species of Mexichromis. At present it is not quite clear how many species there are and just how much variation there is in colour and pointed tubercles within each species. So at the moment, until more reserach is completed on the group, I am calling animals that look like yours Mexichromis cf. mutituberculata. The 'cf' just means that it looks quite like Mexichromis multituberculata but is probably something else.
If you look at the top of this page you will find links to other similar species of Mexichromis
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
