I am pretty sure this is Chromodoris lochi. There is a slight chance it is Chromodoris willani but I can't see the gills clearly enough in your photo to be certain. In Chromodoris lochi the gills and rhinophores are a translucent straw colour while on Chromodoris willani there are distinctive white patches. Have a look at the photo of both species together I have put in my answer to Gordon Smith's message at the bottom of this page.
Bill Rudman.
