Taringa halgerda from the Philippines

Hello Bill,
Can you identify this species? According to the Debelius book it should be Discodoris sp. only found in the lesser Sunda Islands, but we found it in Southern Leyte, Philippines. I could not find the species on the Forum.

Dear Reindert & Mieke,
This certainly looks like a cross between a chromdorid and a Halgerda. It isTaringa halgerda.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
