Dear Bill,
Here are some photos of Chromodoris boucheti from Mayotte (the Comoros).
It is my diving buddy who found them together et brought them to me. So, I'm sorry to tell you that they weren't found on this nice sponge and I didn't choose this sponge for its 'photogenic' aspect. I just placed these specimens near me and the sponge was right here :-)
Date: November 08, 2003
Location: Mayotte Island, France, Indian Ocean
Site: Passe en S, buoy n° 8
Depth: 16m
Size: Upper: 35mm, Lower: 30mm.
Cheers,
Marina.

Thanks Marina,
It's good to get some more photos of this species. And thanks for the close-ups of the gills which show how it diifers from C. willani and C. lochi. Neither of those species have a black line up the inner and outer edge of each gill, and neither have a yellow tip.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
