I am studying nudibranchs at Kasetsart University in Thailand. I cannot identify some of them. I found this one at Mu Koh Angthong National Park. I not sure if it is Chromodoris mandapamensis. Please can you identify it.

Dear Narongpon,
Yes this is what has been recently named Chromodoris mandapamensis, but as you will see from earlier comments I have made on the Forum I strongly suspect that it is a spotted colour form of Chromodoris striatella. In fact I have found juveniles with spots and lines. If you get the chance to see it feeding or laying eggs, photos would be very useful.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
