Hi Bill,
I believe this is Nembrotha purpureolineata. Crawling length was about 5cm. Divesite: Tanjung Tebal, a coral reef with interspersed white sand slope. Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia. April 13, 2002
Best regards,

Adams, M J., 2002 (May 11) Nembrotha purpureolineata? from Sulawesi. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/6884Thanks Mary Jane,
I think Nembrotha purpureolineata is a reasonable place to put it at present, but I am putting this group with very broad dark bands in with N. rutilans. If you look at the photo of two animals mating it suggests that at least the animals with broad longitudinal bands merge with those with a solid block of dark brown.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
