Hi,
I have seen this in a sandy lagoon in the Red Sea during a night dive.
It seems to be Marionia cyanobranchiata, is it so?
Locality: Shaab Mahmoud, Red Sea, on the coast of Sinai desert, Egypt. Red Sea. Depth: ~4 meters. Length: 120 mm. 24 August 2005. laying on the sand. Photographer: Tal Darom

Thanks for this. Yes it is Marionia cyanobranchiata. We don't have many records of this species, but the colour pattern seems to be very characteristic.
Best wishes,
