Dear Erwin,
Like the red-orange spotted group of Nembrotha species, I think this and Nembrotha sp. 8 , and their relationship to Nembrotha chamberlaini will only be sorted out when we know more about their anatomy and natural history.

One clue may be the small blue ascidians that this species seems to be interested in in the photo. I wonder what it and the other species? or forms? feed on.
