Can anyone identify this nudibranch? It was found at Anilao, Philippines, during early May this year.

Dear Ray,
This is Chromodoris joshi. It has a very characteristic colour pattern and a very dense speckling of large white 'glands'? all over the mantle. We don't know much about this species so I would be intersted to know whether you found it on the sponge it is crawling on in your photo, or whether you have posed it for the photo? If you found it like this it could well be evidence of feeding.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
