Hi Bill,
Here's Risbecia imperialis from Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea on 3 Apr 1999.

50mm long at 2m depth near the intertidal zone on algae covered rocks.

Dear Stuart,
For a while I thought that Risbecia imperialis and Risbecia godeffroyana were colour forms of the same species but the colour differences between the two seem to be very consistent so I think we should retain them as separate species until we know more about their anatomy.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
