Dear Bill,
Here is a photo of what I think is Glossodoris pallida taken near Bum islet(about 2km west direction far from Moon islet) in Jeju, Sth Korea.

But I'm not sure about my identification.
Depth: 18m
Date: 13 April 2003
W/T: 15 degrees

Best regards,

Dear Dong Bum,
This looks to be quite a large animal, with quite a folded edge to the mantle. There are a number of similarly coloured species but the opaque white pattern on the mantle is quite characteristic of this species. I can see part of the elongate path between the rhinophores and the 'heart'-shaped pattern just behind that, so I am pretty sure your indentification is correct.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
