Dear Bill,
Here are some pictures from Aqaba, Jordan. I think they are of Chromodoris quadricolor, though the blue background in the middle is often pretty pale, almost white.
Upper Right: feeding. Size: 24mm, Depth: 23m, 10 November 2002. Divesite: wreck of the "Cedar Pride"
Lower Left: head. Size: 38mm, Depth: 25m, 13 November 2002. Divesite: "Saudi Border"
Lower Right: Size: 27mm, Depth: 14m, 15 November 2002. Divesite: "Cazar Reef"

Thanks Erwin,
Yes this is C. quadricolor. Thanks for the photo of it with its oral tube everted over the bright red sponge. This can definitely count as a feeding record.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
