Koh, D.B., 2002 (Jun 19) Noumea nivalis from Korea. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/7282Dear Dr Koh,
I am pretty sure this is Noumea nivalis. Other photos on the Forum show some orange spots on the mantle and some orange-tipped gills, but Baba emntions that both these characters can be absent as in your photo. The most important colour features are the white body, orange-yellow mantle margin and the orange-tipped rhinophore clubs.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
